The Tampa Bay Buccaneers published their first depth chart of 2017 on Monday, a necessary step with the preseason opener in Cincinnati just four days away. It's the first Buccaneer depth chart to feature such names as DeSean Jackson, O.J. Howard and Chris Baker, and as such it is a document of some interest. It is also, however, very much a work in progress.
That is always the case in early August, when training camps are still in full swing and rosters are bursting with 90+ players. The first few iterations of the depth chart are produced to aid in coverage of the preseason games…and those very preseason games inevitably lead to changes on future versions.
