With the caveats that this may not be the official depth chart duly noted, if it is actually reflective of the real depth chart, that pecking order raises any number of questions.

1. What does it say about Smoot that he is now seen as the 3rd RDE behind Ngakoue and Fowler? Is the team now as down on him as it seems most of the fans have been?

2. For that matter, Fowler at 2nd team RDE makes me wonder would he solely be there to spot Ngakoue, or will there be packages where Ngakoue and Fowler are on the field at the same time?

3. Bennett seemed to be a possible cut, but now he is Campbell's primary backup. I wonder how long they have been working him at DE. Was that something Wash disagreed with Bradley over?

4. Colvin is now 4th CB behind Patmon. Was it due to speed, health, what? I know Patmon played pretty well for us during the preseason and he has experience.

5. If this chart is true, I don't see how the talk of trading/cutting Hurns goes away. He just signed a fairly lucrative contract extension last year. While he isn't paid among the highest paid WRs, he's certainly paid more than just about any 6th WR you would find anywhere else. Furthermore, he doesn't strike me as a particularly strong special teams guy either as a return guy or a cover guy As 6th WR, he may not even be active most games. I can see some possibilities with him. I can see the team trying to swing a trade with Hurns to a team in contention with an injured starter at the position. I could also see the team asking Hurns to take a pay cut, Hurns refusing, and then the team cutting him.
