Tapp, Richardson AND Tull is a bit of a surprise.

I thought Jack Allen was supposed to be the best of the crap backups.

Also a bit of a surprise that Payton is done with Brian Dixon. I thought he'd be here like 10 years.

I think it came down to age for Tapp, and not being a good fit in this scheme for Richardson. Tull was a surprise for me. I had high hopes for him.

I thought so too, but I was surprised at how bad he looked in preseason.

Marcus Murphy is still standing.

Usually when a special teamer/one-dimensional player faces Payton's wrath, he's gone.

Unless you're Joe Morgan. Then you're gone/back/gone/back/gone/back/gone/back/gone.

We only have 7 Olinemen. Hopefully we are leaving a spot open for a F.A.

Seems likely. We've never gone with just 7. 8-10 has always been the number.

Richardson is the biggest surprise, only made bigger because of Tapp.

I'll have to see who we kept. Must be 11-12 DBs.

Some of these guys may end up on the PS, yes?

While I think he has the smarts and technical stuff down, he's undersized at 6'1" 294lb, and "only" repped out 23 @ 225 lb on the bench. I think he needs a year to get bigger and stronger.

Tull might want to look elsewhere and not sign with the Saints. If they wanted him, they'd have found a way to keep him.

Maybe but it's not like he has any good NFL tape that would make him overly attractive for another team.

I'm thinking they kept Maabry as he'll be an easy cut once we sign a G (Josh Sitton pls).

Thanks for the depth chart.

Must be size reasons because Tapp clearly outplayed Mabry. Mabry and Richardson were both pedestrian at best.

See, I think in the opposite strategy. Everybody's fine-tuning their rosters over the next 48 hours. Dump Maabry now unless you know somebody wants him. Don't dump Richardson now because somebody's going to grab him. Wait until everybody has their rosters locked in and then dump Richardson.
