4. Equanimeous St. Brown at WR2
The wide receiver depth chart is something that all eyes were on when the list was announced. The depth is questionable, but there are plenty of names in the mix. Many assumed that Byron Pringle was signed to be the second wide receiver, but it was Equanimeous St. Brown.
This can speak to three things. First, ESB has been great in training camp. Second, Pringle is banged up with an injury that will sideline him for the preseason. Lastly, Pringle may be the slot, with ESB on the outside and Darnell Mooney across from him. With that in mind, he technically would be the number three anyways.
Pringle and Velus Jones made up the three and four, and it is fair that both could be the slot when the season starts. Dante Pettis and N’Keal Harry are the five and six, which is good for Harry considering he may be out for a while with an ankle injury.
Isaiah Coulter, Dazz Newsome, and Tajae Sharpe go seven through nine while David Moore, Chris Finke, Nsimba Webster, and Kevin Shaa round out the roster. The movement of these names after one game will be notable, but it is clear that Pettis has a leg up to make the roster, and that ESB is going to get on the field.
