Depth Chart Shenanigans

Check around your favorite team's official website this week and you'll see a new page up: Depth Charts! Teams are required to give their first depth charts of the season before their first preseason game - this week. These are fun to look at, but the coaches plead with us not to take them seriously. Sometimes, they are ridiculous. Like the Falcons putting Matt Ryan fourth at quarterback. Sometimes, coaches use them as motivational tools.

Whatever the reason, there are always a few eye openers. Here were the ones that caught my eye this week:

  • Laurent Robinson was listed as a third-teamer in Atlanta, behind Michael Jenkins and Brian Finneran. This goes against everything we've heard all off-season. I don't quite trust this one.

  • James Hardy remains a second-teamer in Buffalo, as expected.

  • Ronald Curry and Drew Carter were called co-starters in Oakland. Of course, Javon Walker was listed by himself despite reportedly being a disaster in camp so far.

  • Antonio Bryant remains behind Michael Clayton and Maurice Stovall for now.

  • Jackie freaking Battle is ahead of Kolby Smith and Jamaal Charles in Kansas City. Not sure what to think here, other than I don't expect this to last.

  • Roydell Williams is back practicing with the second team in Tennessee after returning from injury.

  • Eddie Royal is already ahead of Keary Colbert in Denver. And may have a shot to pass Darrell Jackson, from the sound of it. I am loving that dynasty pick right now. Jerome Simpson - not so much.

  • Andre Hall remains second behind Selvin Young. With Ryan Torain possibly out for the season, this could stick.
