    Quarterback:

    .CLE   Baker Mayfield .......Pitt.  Ben Roethlisberger.   Lamar Jackson......CIn.  Andy Dalton..... (PS Kurt Warner has Ben ahead of Baker- past production? )  

    Running Back:

    ..CLE Nick Chubb.....Pitt. James Conner... ..Cin. Joe Mixon   Balt. Mark Ingram.... (ones in bold, all pretty close) 

    Tight End:

    .CIN Tyler Eifert (when healthy, expecting another trip to IR) .....CLE  David Njoku.....Pitt. Vance McDonald Balt. Nick Boyle

    WRs (tandems)  CLE  OBJ/Jarvis Landry....  .CIN. AJ Green/Tyler Boyd..... Pitt.  Juju Smith-Shuster/James Washington...   Balt. Willie Snead/Jordan Lasley.... If Vagitroll thinks his wrs match up to the Browns, he's nuts

    Center: Pitt. Maurkice Pouncey .  ...CIN Billy Price.....CLE JC Tretter..... Balt. Matt Skura. (this one isn't close, Pouncey is a pro bolwer) 

    Right Guard:

    Balt. Marshall Yanda......Pitt.  David DeCastro...  CIN Alex Redmond.....CLE. Austin Corbett.... tough call, Yanda and DeCastro are both great, Corbett is unproven

    Left Guard:

     .CLE Joel Bitonio....  CIN Cordy Glenn..... .Pitt. Ramon Foster.... BAL Alex Lewis.....

    Right Tackle:

    Balt. Orlando Brown......CLE Chris Hubbard.....Pitt Matt Feiler.... CIN Bobby Hart

    Left Tackle:

    ..Pitt.  A. Villanueava  .. ..CLE Greg Robinson... Balt. Ronnie Stanley... CIN Jonah Williams... Williams unproven rookie

    Give your rankings. Note- living in SW Ohio with my vast knowledge of the Bungles doings, they have plugged Williams in immediately as the starter at LT, and moved Cordy Glenn inside to LG.  

  • Now, Special Teams:

    Kicker

    Balt.  Justin Tucker.....CIN Randy Bullock.....CLE Greg Joseph.....Pitt.  Chris Boswell

    Punter

    Balt. Sam Koch.....CIN Kevin Huber.....CLE Britton Colquitt.....Pitt. Jordan Berry

    Punt Returner

    Balt. Cyrus Jones.....CIN Alex Ericson.....CLE Antonio Callaway.....Pitt. Ryan Switzer

    Kick Returner

    Balt. Chris Moore.....CIN Alex Ericson....CLE Dontrell Hilliard...Pitt. Ryan Switzer

  • Some of my observations on the above:

    A. QB. Certainly BR deserves the top spot on QB, based on past performance (including as recently as last year).  The big question is whether or not Baker can become the top dog in this division.  Many more knowledgeable than I (you know, those national media types) think it possible. Dalton may lose favor in Cincy and be benched...and Jackson....the question on him is when will it be crunch time. 

    B. On the bare surface of it, the RB position could seem a fairly even match...but Chubb DID gain more yards than the others (in some cases in fewer carries)....and with Duke, and the addition of Hunt...Browns should have best RB combo in the division (maybe even the league)

    C. Browns pass catching corps (WR+TEs) again, I believe is  the best and the deepest in the division (if not the league) While there are some other good individuals,  Green/Juju,  the teams don;t have the overall quality as the Browns imo.

    D. I agree that based on past performance, the Steelers have at least 2 of the top spots on the OL...with a tight race for another (as H said, between DeCastro and Yanda).  But my big question is will they hold at that with the loss of Munchak.

    E. I think that Baltimore has the best overall Defensive Backfield.  Cleveland second.

    F.  I don't think the Browns take a back seat to anyone along the DL.  In fact, it may not be close, if  the three Pro Bowlers play up to their potential (Vernon/Richardson/Garrett).  But, Geno Atkins and Dunlap could make a case for the Cincy DL, and Pittsburgh's can be pretty stout as well.

    G. Pitt. gets the nod at LB.  That assumes that Bush will play up to his first round status. Browns will need second year man Gennard and two rookies to really come along to get a higher slot.  Baltimore's once dominant place there is no more. 

    So:

    QB....Pitt, with the Browns on their tale

    RBs.  Browns

    WR/TE. Browns

    OL. Pitt

    DL. Browns 

    LB. Pitt

    DB  Baltimore

    Special teams:  Balt. has best kicker.  That is the only definitive thing I can say really.

  • anything on the front 4 outside of possibly heyward is in tge bag for da good guyz...

  • Is it just too early for this kind of analysis

  • @gumby73 said:

    yes! so many personal changes can happen for to many reasons..some include injury/suspensions/and the mighty dollar ? ,some surprise camp no shows turn into trades .. maybe get to after preseason game 1?  Ben will have the peeps pist off again by then😮  

    Really?   How many real substantive personnell changes do you think really will occur on these teams between now and the start of training camp...or even the regular season?  Except for a little shifting and maneuvering as described by Hoorta,  I suggest that the actual number of changes to the 88 persons on these 4 teams who start (not including STs)  would be able to be counted on one hand.  (not including injuries...which sure, can occur...but those cannot be anticipated). 

    So...go ahead, name those persons out of the list of starters above whose jobs may be on thin ice and may not actually be their teams starter in game 1. 

    (and BR having his melodrama gene activated once again won't really change that team's lineup at this point...will it?)

  • Could Andy Dalton be in trouble as Bengals QB?

    I am not sure that Morgan Burnett actually becomes the Browns starting Free Safety

    Maybe some changes will be made to Baltimore's WR starters.

    But I don't see a lot else, off the top of my head.

    can we at least get to mandatory mini camp? Where is Duke playing?..not here yet. Google up Jalen Ramsey? ya think Coughlin wants to give up more money now or later? Bet Jalen knows.bet the steelers/ravens are ?. Heck, Damarcus Randall is in camp right now and been asking for a new deal for months..What's he do when it's mandatory while others get paid? I took your post as a question..and that's my opinion & yes few may change, but those names don't come real till they come to camp in June.. 

    They are real now.  They have played before...and will be playing again when the season starts.   How many rookies are on those lists as starters?  Some names may change...but as I said...you can probably count them on one hand.  So, no, there is no reason to wait until mandatory mini camp. What is that going to do to change a team's depth charts significantly?    And Duke is not listed as the Browns starting RB. Chubb is.  Would you think that likely to change?

    I am not a realtor.   But I may have some connections with realtors. (but they would be more in Medina/Summit County)

  • We are only 10 days away from starting training camp.   Perhaps I should have waited until now....or even later to have made this thread,  but, nevertheless, hello...I revive it now to see if there is any more commentary about this now that things are going to start to happen.  See the OP.

    Does anyone know of any actual changes to any team's depth chart that has taken place since May when I originally posted this?

    Uh, yea, sure, that's the ticket.

    So, Cincy's entire OL is in flux....so what...They have Andy Dalton!!     (did you see that tweet by some Bengals fan who said they had the best QB in the division....because BR was too old and the Browns and Ravens QBs were too young....that they are the only team in the division with a veteran QB in his prime?....did you see that?
