No. 1 – It’s early

If you’re going to take away anything from this initial depth chart, take away this: It’s super, super early.

If your favorite player is unexpectedly leading the charge at his position, it’s not time to take a victory lap. And if your favorite sleeper was left off the initial depth chart, don’t sweat it. There are four preseason games ahead, for players to flash their talent and showcase their worth.

This depth chart is a starting point. The Washington Redskins needed that much. That was the initial depth chart’s only true purpose; to provide a foundation with which to proceed. Now that the foundation has been laid, there’s only one thing left for the depth chart to do.

Next. How have the Redskins rookies performed thus far?. dark

Change. And as always, change will come. In time.
