Quick 1st Depth Chart Thoughts

[Chopper0080]

1 - MHJ is the only rookie listed as a starter.

2 - Starling Thomas over Max Melton is something but not worth panicking over.

3 - Benson and Demercado at 2 and 3 at RB but Michael Carter is 5th. More cap savings on the way boys.

4 - WR spots seem pretty declared. Dortch over Jones in the slot role.

5 - Nice to see Palmer over Arias at WR.

6 - Beachum and Wilkerson at backup OTs is not ideal. I was hoping Christian Jones would have showed enough for the backup role. (after a little more thought...not a big a deal)

7 - Adams, Gaines, and Colon as the #2s inside is good for this roster. They should be.

8 - Great to see Darius Robinson and Stills as the 2s at DE/DT. It's an ok place for them to be.

9 - I am curious what the Cardinals do at NT. Is it really Lopez and Collier or will they switch things around (and how much).

10 - EDGE is bad.

11 - S and ILB look as expected.

12 - Elijah Jones behind Clark is a slight concern. Clark is 23 and Jones is 24. The idea behind drafting Jones is that he had a lot of experience so his floor was higher. It's early, but that along with Melton is something to keep an eye on.

The obvious two concerns right now are EDGE and CB. EDGE with the overall talent and CB with where the rookies are initially on the depth chart. Starling Thomas and Kei'trel Clark are not huge obstacles to overcome. The hope is that it is still vey early.

 

[Chopper0080]

If I was looking at areas where the Cardinals could make moves...NT and EDGE are probably the top 2. They already signed Hood at CB.

They really need a starter at NT because they don't have a good one.

Why would anyone panic at this stage?

Doubt it will be Demarcado over Carter in the final list.

Melton and Jones have both had minor nics.

Rookies have to be rather exceptional to be placed ahead of vets in the first iteration of the chart.

it feels like this is a position where you can get a guy who plays at league level at the cut down day

When I was a kid, I'd hear, "That depth chart and a nickel will get you a cup of coffee at the Automat".

Now it's "That depth chart and $6.50 can get you a mocha choca soy milk something at Starbucks"

I don't know about at cut down day, but it should be an easier position to fill than edge for sure.

I don't know about that. I do think you can find better than Roy Lopez unless he is showing a lot. Have to find a team that transitioned from a 3-4 to a 4-3 and still has a NT on the roster.

I like the fact that we have 5 RB’s that could make this team and 1 injuries doesn’t crush the rb room.

Maybe someone can explain the love for Demarcardo, other than he plays special teams. Carter was much more impressive to me in the few carries he got last year.

Production! Look at his stats from last year!

 

[tennis-player]

Demarcado: Att. 58; Yards. 284; Ave. 4.9
Carter: Att. 22; Yards. 149; Ave. 6.8

 

[Garthshort]

Bottom line, both should make the team, but sometimes you run out of spots. Lets see how Benson looks in the PS.

 

[Krangodnzr]

According to Gannon, he challenged Demercado to get in better shape, and he came back jacked.

Demercado did most things really well last year. He was a good player on limited snaps.

Enjoyed that thank you

I'm waiting for a depth chart AFTER the first two PS games.

 

[BulldogCard]

I compare some of this to Sean Payton putting Bo Nix as third string. Everyone knows he better be starting by week 1. Lighting fires under rookies, getting them all lathered up. Stay better play angry and study way more than normal so they aren't an overpursuing, over emotional defense getting taken advantage of by savvy veteran teams like the 49ers and Rams, etc. I agree that the Cards should keep trying to get D guys.

Gannon essentially said the depth chart means nothing.
PHNX crew said Adams is the 3rd string guard as Wilkerson gets reps at guard over him.
Trey Brenson gets 4th reps.
A lot will change.

Agreed, but Demarcado is signed for the min, and neither he or Carter should see much playing time if Trey does what he should.

Why do you hate me? lol

Cards Underground said that Big Mo was having a good camp and the only reason he'll get cut is because we have two draft picks we want to protect. (Maybe three if you count Gaines).
