PFF Upgraded Depth Charts


It appears that the Falcons Depth Chart on the PFF page has been updated and only positive improvements have been made to it. Some notes from the PFF site on the changes:

- Considering that he graded at +5.0 with the New York Giants last year, with his run blocking a particular strength, "Below Average" didn't feel right for tight end Bear Pascoe. Since entering the league he has yet to grade any worse than -3.4 over a full season, so "Average Starter" felt about right.

- When looking at the AFC South yesterday, we felt that Arthur Jones and Atlanta’s Tyson Jackson were fairly comparable players and, while he doesn't offer much as a pass rusher, Jackson is good enough against the run (+6.7 in 2013) to bump up to "Good Starter".

-While I disagree with the person who commented to suggest that Desmond Trufant is already an elite corner, to suggest he was only a "Good Starter" was a bit harsh. His +11.0 grade in coverage was bettered by only seven cornerbacks in 2013 and he looks to have a bright future ahead of him.

While I believe that Trufant is only one year from becoming an "Elite Starter," I agree that only a year under his belt suffices a "High Quality Starter" rating. Here is the rest of the chart:

The one huge thing on here that sticks out to me is Paul Worrilow. While I am not as bullish on him as some people are, I don't think he is a "Below Average Starter." I have a feeling he may make the biggest jump on the depth chart next year. I also think that Lowery, Matt Bryant, and Willy Mo are a tad under ranked. Willy Mo is definitely a "Good Starter" and I think Matt is as well. Lowery without seeing him yet is an "Average Starter" but feel he could end up being very good for us.

Thoughts?
