If there are any injuries during the season, they can find just about any scrub on the scrap heap to fill a role as (in)competently as Smith.

Sweet. I agree FWIW.

Oh for the love of christ, Richardson started 40 some games for Clemson at LT, you don't do that without some talent.

I disagree.

As I've stated many times in the past year, Richardson has the ideal size to be a dominating right tackle. The only thing he's been lacking is motivation.

I don't know if that's the case anymore, considering that he passed the conditioning test, while Goff, Waters and ScIntosh did not.

Additionally, I'm not ready to proclaim that Colin Brown is a bust. He appears to be much more suited for right guard and by all accounts, he's a bright guy. If he can improve his footwork and work on his leverage (the guy is 6'7), he may become a solid starter at right guard.

But in either case, it's far too early to be proclaiming either one of these guys as busts.

I thought for sure Croyle was a goner but apparently he's ahead of Thigpen. Interesting.

First off... This..

And also, this is like the first full depth chart released. These things have very little bearing to the final product. In fact, at one point, I though maybe it was just alphabetical, and then maybe alphabetical by "tier".

Means nothing, except perhaps motivation for some players.

I really hope this is not the case come mid-September. I liked Croyle, but I want my backup QB to be able to take a hit and get back up.

Meh he was a 5th round pick so is Brown. Taylor was a 5th or 6th too. The reality is most 5th and 6th round picks don't make it in the league so I don't really see how any of these guys are relevant. If you can't beat out Sackintoish you really suck.

Ummm... Clemson if like an honorary member of the SEC, even though they aren't in the SEC.... :: sigh ::

Richardson also was projected as a first round pick because of his talent but his head got in the way of that... Brown wasn't even projected to be drafted...

Yea alot of guys were projected 1st round picks and weren't picked in the 1st round. All i'm saying is if you don't beat out Sackintoish how good are you really?

He's saying Clemson is the same caliber as an SEC school, even though they play in the ACC. And in order to start at a high caliber program(like Clemson, or any in the SEC) you must possess some sort of good skill set and be considered a legitimate NFL prospect.

Wrong.

5th and 6th rounders better make your squad or you've just ****ed yourself in the draft.

Why do you think the Chiefs haven't had any depth or good special teams in the last decade?

Poor drafts from top to bottom.

Good squads draft athletes and players that can contribute as backups and on special teams, immediately. They won't just "cut" a guy because he can't beat out an incumbent starter one week into training camp. Most young players need "seasoning". Hell, even Tim Grunhard sat on the bench his first season and he was a second rounder.

Furthermore, there's no freakin' reason to be spending high draft choices on right tackles and guards. There are starting guards all across the NFL that weren't even drafted (Brian Waters is a prime example).

So don't be so quick to dismiss a player because he was a late rounder.

Not many guys with zero talent are projected to be first round picks. Its pretty normal for a guy with zero starting experience to not beat out guys with years of starting experience... really
