One cannot stress enough how little the Redskins first depth chart means, pertaining to the outlook of the regular season.

Very few position battles on the Washington Redskins roster have been won yet. In fact, the only two that have been might be Trey Quinn at slot receiver, and Nick Sundberg at long snapper, if that ever counted as a battle.

The rest of the roster is wide open, and while the team’s proximity to their first preseason game forced them to put out an order, it is not indicative of a long-term structure.

But don’t challenge me to find takeaways from this tentative roster, because that challenge will be accepted.

We can at least look on the surface of the Redskins first unofficial depth chart and come away with a few statements and assumptions. Here are our takeaways. They, too, may change as time does.
