Five takeaways from the Buccaneers’ first 2017 depth chart

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just published their first depth chart of 2017, and it’s mostly unremarkable. The players we thought were starting, are starting. No one’s down the depth chart at a position where we thought they were competing, and none of the undrafted free agents are very high up either.

That’s natural: the published depth chart never actually reflect the depth charts coaches are working on a day-to-day basis, if only because those charts are based more around specific packages and roles than around simple priority lists. This chart doesn’t have slot receivers or slot cornerbacks, for instance, but the coaches do.
