Every depth chart calls take
4476–4500 of 5,113
Bradley Chubb to be 1st on the depth chart
obviously, Bradley Chubb and Greg Russo are your starting outside linebackers for this defense
Ty Simpson to be 1st on the depth chart
I gave him a top of the second round grade because he will be an eventual starter. That's what it equates to for me. We're talking about a year or two down the line
Francis Mauigoa to be 1st on the depth chart
you do get somebody to help in terms of the offensive line with Maui nooah, but not a perfect fit because you're going to probably play them at guard right away because you got your two tackles. He has a long term fix at right tackle.
Brock Bowers to be 1st on the depth chart
them not picking a receiver until late with Leek Benson is a sign that their number one receiver is Brock Bowers
Trey Zuhn to be 2nd on the depth chart
he's gonna be their swing tackle, swing guard
- PendingPushing the Pile (podcast)Depth Chart Calls2026 season
Garrett Nussmeier to be 2nd on the depth chart
and then they got Garrett Nussmeier to be like a high floor backup to Patrick Mahomes
Garrett NussmeierKansas City Chiefs
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 27, 2026 Antonio Williams to be 3rd on the depth chart
Antonio Williams fits nicely as that number three guy. I think he is a great number three to McLaurin and Brandon Aayuk.
- PendingPushing the Pile (podcast)Depth Chart Calls2026 season
Sam Hecht to be 1st on the depth chart
But Heck, I think starts for this... I think he is starting over Luke Fortner right away for the Carolina Panthers would not surprise me.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 27, 2026 Christian Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
Christian Miller, I think, can be a really, like, starting nose tackle. Immediately.
- PendingPushing the Pile (podcast)Depth Chart Calls2026 season
Connor Lew to be 1st on the depth chart
Get Connor Lou at one twenty eight. I think that guy is their starting center in 2027 after Ted Caris leaves.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 27, 2026 - PendingPushing the Pile (podcast)Depth Chart Calls2026 season
Jadon Canady to be 1st on the depth chart
Jaden Kennedy as well at one zero nine. I mean, like, he's your starting slot corner.
Jadon CanadyKansas City Chiefs
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 27, 2026 Chris Bell to be 1st on the depth chart
And then you have Chris Bell, who I think can be a true number one receiver when he is healthy.
Ventrell Miller to be 2nd on the depth chart
I think this is a sign that they are fine with, Ventrell Miller as their second linebacker next to Floyd Lillecon because they only drafted a linebacker with their last pick of the draft
Sam Hecht to be 1st on the depth chart
I think getting him here, he's gonna start for them immediately. I think that's a starting center that they got on day three.
Mansoor Delane to be 1st on the depth chart
Safe, meaningful contributor, I think, is gonna start day one for this team and, will be cornerback one for this team immediately
- PendingDan DevoneDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Nick Martin to be 3rd on the depth chart
You'd have to ask Lynch, but I think they're still high on Nick Martin. And I still think he's number three in the depth chart. Now maybe this guy beats him out, but I don't think they're disappointed with Martin's plan
Nick MartinSan Francisco 49ers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 25, 2026 - PendingBrian & GeoffDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Drew Allar to be 4th on the depth chart
If Aaron Rodgers starting quarterback and you have two other guys that are gonna be the backups ahead of Drew Alert like, it's it's fun to say Drew Al is the next guy, but when is he gonna be the next guy?
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 25, 2026 Ty Simpson to be 2nd on the depth chart
They want to sit them behind Aaron Rodgers and let them develop for two or three years. It's the same thing they're doing with Tys Simpson behind Matthew Stafford.
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
I don't know if he needs that level of development. I think Kirk Cousin is going to be more of a clipboard guy that's going to be coaching him from the sidelines this year.
Kirk Cousins to be 2nd on the depth chart
I think Kirk Cousin is going to be more of a clipboard guy that's going to be coaching him from the sidelines this year.
Carnell Tate to be 2nd on the depth chart
I think he'll be He'll be fine, maybe a great number two receiver, but I don't think a dominant number one, which you expect to get at the number four pick.
- PendingTravis RodgersDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Matthew Stafford to be 1st on the depth chart
I think that Stafford is here in '26 and '27... And Stafford's here. That's comforting.
Matthew StaffordLos Angeles Rams
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 24, 2026 - PendingTravis RodgersDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Ty Simpson to be 2nd on the depth chart
He's not gonna play next year. He's probably not gonna play the year after that. This is a long term play.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Apr 24, 2026 Arvell Reese to be 1st on the depth chart
I do I think they're gonna play him at inside linebacker, which is where I think he's going to have the most immediate, like, impact.
Kyle Louis to be 1st on the depth chart
what he would do is come in as a subpackage defender early on for the Texans. And I think eventually, he'd be the starter
