Preseason Depth Chart - Offense

by Marima on Aug 1, 2008 2:10 PM EDT in Training Camp

Trying to keep track of the currently maxed-out 80-man roster, while figuring out who's probably going to play which position was making my head spin. By August 30th, somehow this roster number will be slashed down to a trim 53, with the first 5-man roster cut being a mere 4 days earlier on the 26th.

To ease my aching, speculating brain and to keep the position battles straight, I've been relying on Patriots Football Weekly's Unofficial Depth Chart. Here's their strictly unofficial take on how deep the depths really are for each position.
