Mario and his staff are in the final stages of shaping the roster, and we anticipate more movement before August 31st. Despite the ongoing adjustments, I've taken a stab at creating a depth chart based on the current lineup. Here are the projected starters, along with their backups listed in parentheses, ordered according to my assessment of the depth chart.
We're still in ’need’ of a safety, defensive end, and defensive tackle. In addition, in my opinion, we should ‘want’ a left guard, and another defensive tackle, corner and/or safety to bolster the team. What are your thoughts?
