Every depth chart calls take
776–800 of 4,890
Ty Okada to be 1st on the depth chart
Okada is set to replace Coby Bryant, who was a fixture in the secondary last season but signed with the Chicago Bears in free agency... Seattle went thin at the cornerback position, expecting Okada to play a major role.
Malachi Lawrence to be 4th on the depth chart
Lawrence didn't make much noise this offseason and he's likely no better than fourth at the position behind Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku and Von Miller. He may even be No. 5 behind James Houston.
Camden Brown to be 6th on the depth chart
This is under the assumption that Brown ... is the No. 6 player on the depth chart at wide receiver behind Jonathan Mingo and KaVontae Turpin.
Jaishawn Barham to be 3rd on the depth chart
Barham is going to be involved in the rotation there as the LB3
Dee Winters to be 1st on the depth chart
We still think Dee Winters gets the start next to DeMarvion Overshown
Drew Shelton to be 3rd on the depth chart
Projected role: No. 2 swing tackle ... we find it hard to believe the Cowboys saw enough in him during the offseason to trust Shelton as the first player off the bench at either tackle spot.
Quinnen Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Otito Ogbonnia are the top three players at defensive tackle
Jonathan Bullard to be 4th on the depth chart
Jonathan Bullard will likely be No. 4 if healthy
Landon Jackson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Our Randy Gurzi projects Jackson to begin the season as a backup defensive end behind T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
First is the defensive line, where T.J. Sanders could be a starter despite an underwhelming rookie season.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson to be 1st on the depth chart
to be the No. 2 strong safety behind C.J. Gardner-Johnson
Jalon Kilgore to be 2nd on the depth chart
Gurzi projects Kilgore, who was a 2026 fifth-round pick, to be the No. 2 strong safety behind C.J. Gardner-Johnson
Bam Knight to be 3rd on the depth chart
James Conner hit injured reserve, so this was effectively RB3 behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier.
Denzel Burke to be 2nd on the depth chart
CB2: Denzel Burke ... Burke, a Day 3 rookie who shined last season, has a strong grasp on starting duties to begin his second season
Andrew Wingard to be 1st on the depth chart
He's firmly entrenched as a starter entering Week 1 while Taylor-Demerson hasn't been able to impress.
Isaiah Adams to be 1st on the depth chart
Now, barring a surprise from Jon Gaines, Adams has a clear path to starting for the rest of the season.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
He will almost certainly get his shot this season, though. ... when he is physically ready, a quarterback change could be quickly in the offing.
DJ Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
the Bills are hoping new WR1 DJ Moore and defensive play caller Jim Leonard can produce better results
Emeka Egbuka to be 1st on the depth chart
Bucs wideout Emeka Egbuka. The second-year receiver -- who is expected to take over as the No. 1 option following Mike Evans' departure in free agency
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
I think that they put Deshaun Watson in as a starter to fail in week one, week two
D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
Swift is still the lead back. Like, unquestionable.
Oronde Gadsden II to be 3rd on the depth chart
I would drop Ronde. I think he's gonna be tight end three in that rotation, man.
MarShawn Lloyd to be 1st on the depth chart
He's got talent. He's the clear RB one.
Charlie Kolar to be 1st on the depth chart
I think Charlie Kohler is going to be their starting tight end and lead the Chargers in routes and targets at the tight end position.
Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
Christian Watson versus Parker Washington, where I'm like, those guys are the clear wide receiver ones in their offenses.
