The first preseason depth chart is here for the Atlanta Falcons. If you feel a tingle of excitement going through your body when you read that sentence, you’re in for a fair bit of disappointment when you remember just how inaccurate these kinds of depth charts tend to be.
Bijan Robinson is not the third running back. Xavier Malone, he of the impressive training camp, is not the last receiver on the depth chart. Clark Phillips is not solely the third-stringer nickel back. And so on. Rookies tend to be down the depth chart here in preseason, and this whole thing has very little in the way of predictive power.
