Dueling Depth Charts

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: 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
