PRE-DRAFT DEPTH CHART

Today we take a look at the rest of the depth chart.

Offensive Tackle
Jon Jansen
Chris Samuels
Stephon Heyer

Guard
Randy Thomas
Pete Kendall
Todd Wade
Kevin Sampson
Tavares Washington

Center:
Casay Rabach

Overall, I like the line. I think when healthy, it is clearly an above average NFL line, but injuries have exposed the lack of depth the past few years. When Randy Thomas and Jansen went down it forced some shuffling and some rookie starts. Stephon Heyer, a University of Maryland product, showed he is capable and improved as he got more playing time under his belt. There is no an immediate need on OL, but nothing bad can be said for building a deep offensive line.

DE:
Andre Carter
Phillip Daniels
Demetric Evans
Tommy Davis
Chris Wilson
Alex Buzbee
Kevin Huntley

Carter has shown signs of life the last two years after looking intially like a bust. This unit could definately be upgraded with an explosive pass rusher. Look what the Giants did last year, and it was largely due to their defensive ends getting no stop pressure.

DT:
Cornielius Griffin
Kedric Golston
Anthony Montgomery
Mattias Askew
Ryan Boschetti
Lorenzo Alexander

The young guys, Montgomery and Golston have improved nicely. It would be good if Griffin could stay healthy.


LB:
Marcus Washington
Rocky McIntosh
London Fletcher
HB Blades
Khary Campbell
Rian Wallace
Matt Sinclair
Danny Verdun-Wheeler

The biggest question mark of this unit is the return of Rocky McIntosh who is coming off reconstructive knee surgery. I really like what he brings to the field and it is good news that he is expected back in July. Hopefully he will be near 100% by the start of the 2008 campaign.

CB:
Shawn Springs
Fred Smoot
Carlos Rogers
Leigh Torrance
John Eubanks
Byron Westbrook
Cedrick Holt
Eddie Jackson

Looks like Carlos Rogers will miss the beginning of the season, leaving Old Man Springs and Smooty starting at CB. I was disappointed that Westbrook did not get a sniff on the active roster during the season, but he could be a sleeper in this years camp.

S:
Laron Landry
Reed Doughty
Vernon Fox

From a football standpoint, the passing of Sean Taylor has created a large void in the Redskins secondary. Reed Doughty stepped up to the challenge, but is he the guy?

Special Teams:
Suisham, K
Ethan Albright, LS
__________, P

Are we punterless? How can we go on without a punter under contract?...I am assuming the reach terms with Derrick Frost.
