With the jockeying for roster spots and jobs getting off the blocks with this week’s rookie minicamp, on an individual level, everything now becomes about depth chart.

Some spots are set — such as quarterback, cornerback, and both safety positions — but some positions are wide open. It wouldn’t be a shock if rookie linebacker Stephone Anthony claims a starting role, and P.J. Williams could figure into the mix at cornerback.
But it’s not all about who is at the top of the chart.
