  • Of course, it is way, way early, but I thought I would post this "Dueling Depth Charts". I am taking the Browns three deep depth chart and putting each position therein up against the depth charts of the other teams in the AFCN. I obtained these up to date charts from Ourlads. I will go position by position. State which team you think has the advantage. I will start with the Browns vs. Steelers offense:

    Browns vs. Steelers offense:

    QB

    Brandon Weeden/Campbell/Lewis

    vs.

    Roethlisberger/Gradkowski/L. Jones

    Advantage: Steelers....at least with their proven starter obviously. Browns backup is better...unless L. Jones becomes something.

    WR1:

    Gordon/Nelson/Cooper

    vs.

    Sanders/Wheaton/Burris

    Advantage: I think this is a Push...though, with a big year, Gordon could blow this out.

    WR2:

    Little/Bess/Benjamin

    vs.

    A. Brown/Cotchery/J. Brown

    Advantage: So far to Steelers, though not by much

    TE:

    Cameron/K. Davis/ Barnidge

    vs.

    Heath Miller/Spaeth/Paulsen

    Advantage: Steelers, experience factor of Miller a clear plus for them

    RB:

    Richardson/Hardesty/Dion Lewis

    vs.

    J. Dwyer/L. Bell/Redman

    Advantage: Browns. If L. Bell is what the Vag and others think he is, it could be closer...but still edge to TR

    LT:

    Joe Thomas/Cousins/C. Faulk

    vs.

    Mike Adams/Beachum/Farrell

    Advantage: Browns, clearly

    LG:

    Pinkston/Greco/Hauptman

    vs.

    Ramon Foster/J. Malecki/ Mike Golic

    Advantage: Browns. Foster ain't much

    😄

    Mack/Braxton Cave

    vs.

    Pouncey/Madsen

    Advantage. very slight edge, if any at all to Steelers

    RG:

    Lauvao/Jarrod Shaw/Alford

    vs.

    DeCastro/Cheadle/Emberate

    Advantage: On paper it is Steelers. But DeCastro has yet to play much if at all. So that edge may or not be what people think.

    RT:

    Schwartz/Butler/Miller

    vs.

    Gilbert/Whimper/Joe Long

    Advantage: Browns. Schwartz could become one of the best RTs going.

    FG/H-back:

    Marecic/Smelley/Gronkowski

    vs.

    D. Johnson/W. Johnson

    Advantage: Push. Marecic is not likely to keep starter job...and that is why a "winner" cannot be picked here.

    Advantage: Steelers, maybe, because Keisel/Heyward are know factors. But I am still not sure about some of the positioning along the Browns front 7. If Sheard plays here, it is at worst a Push, maybe advantage Browns.

    Advantage: Steelers. Same here experience advantage over unproven rookie/2d year players.....though with a word of caution...older is necessarily better. By mid season...this could perhaps turn

    I give the above to the Steelers, simply because they are bringing in more experienced players. We fans have no idea if the Browns new kicker/punter will be able to do what their predecessors did.

    LDE

    Rubin/Winn/Sanford

    vs.

    Dunlap/Hunt/Gilberry

    Advantage; Browns

    NT:

    Taylor/Kitchen

    vs.

    Peko/Thompson/Black

    Advantage: Push, Peko and Taylor offset...if you include Huges and Winn for depth, it is Browns...but they are not listed as NTs.

    RDE:

    D.Bryan/Hughes/A. Bryant

    vs.

    Michael Johnson/Geathers/Moch

    Advantage: Bengals

    Bengals have at RDT:

    Geno Atkins/Still/Chappelear vs. Browns front 7 Overall taking Bengals with 4 DL, and Browns with 3, I think it is a basic Push.

    LOLB:

    Kruger/Groves/JM Johnson

    vs.

    Harrison/Maybin/Joiner

    Advantage: Browns. There was a reason the Steelers got rid of Harrison and why the Browns far preferred Kruger over him.

    MLBs:

    DQ Jackson/Robertson/Fort/Carder/Rau/Moten

    vs.

    Maualaga/Sheffer/Campbell

    Advantage: Hard for me to tell with the difference in the scheme. Go with a Push

    ROLB:

    Sheard/Mingo/Adams

    vs.

    Burfict/Porter/Rey

    Advantage: Mingo will be better than anyone here. even though in some minds Burfict overachieve. Browns.

    LCB:

    Haden/Bademosi/Miller

    vs.

    Kirkpatrick/Newman/Miles

    Advantage: Browns

    SS:

    TJWard/Slaughter/Richardson

    vs.

    Mays/S. Williams/Miles

    Advantage: Push. Mays has played well.

    FS:

    Hagg/Gipson/Tunstall

    vs.

    Nelson/Iloka Sands

    Advantage: I don't honestly know. I would imagine that a simple experience factor should give the Bengals the edge.

    RCB:

    McFadden/Skrine/Owens

    vs.

    Leon Hall/Pacman Jones/Ghee

    Advantage: Again, experience give the Bengals the edge
