One of the more popular features here during training camp last year was my "March Madness" kind of spin on laying out the potential depth chart each week. I say it was "March Madness-esque" because of how I format it - including a list of who I think are the final five players on the roster and the final five off of the roster.
The idea behind it wasn't so much to nail down the depth chart at each position. Instead, it was to help put together a possible 53-man roster. It was more or less based on my opinions - taking into account practice reports, how the team was lining up by unit (first team, second team, etc...), and preseason game action (once the preseason got underway). And it seemed like it got some good debate going. So I'm bringing it back each week this year from now until final cuts in September.
My first edition can be found below - with notes included on how I came up with some of my decisions.
