Geron Christian got first team nods at RT today, Kennard at 2nd team RT with Wylie at 2nd team RG

A fluid situation, but the beginning of the end of Wylie at RT? He got whipped pretty hard by Karlaftis yesterday and ‘demoted’ today

Also Karlaftis had a sweet strip sack on Mahomes but i cant find any video. Carlos Dunlap “demolished” the 2nd team OL in limited action

Wylie is OK at RT. When OK is your upside, teams want improvement. Christian is clearly in the mix for swing OT, so reps at RT are important. Kennard is not doing what Smith did last year but he seems to be one of the players that they are looking at keeping on the 53. 

You have to love how the DL has come around. You are seeing improvement from Clark, development from Danna and Wharton, 1st round ability from Karlaftis, and now the spice of Dunlap. This defense is going to get after people.

Day #10. Things are starting to point toward preseason game #1.

While not a big deal, not every DB can do this. Justin Reid nails a 65 yard FG. It's not a fluke JR has kicked in a game situation.

Always take these with a grain of salt, as Andy Reid has never seemed overly fond of training camp depth charts....but this is the first one we have.

Definitely a few quirks due to injury/availability putting guys at the bottom of the depth chart. Niang, Fortson, Fenton, Lammons all could have some asterisks behind their names. Couple spots where tenure might be earning guys initial spots. Bell over Gray/Fortson, McKinnon/Jones over Pacheco, Danna over Karlaftis, etc.

Offensive skill positions are probably the spots to really watch as things progress here, IMO.

Dicaprio Bootle's placement is exciting to me. Lonnie Johnson was always a nice insurance signing if the youth didn't pan out. If the performance of McDuffie/Williams/Bootle/Watson push him off the roster, that IMO says more positive things about the young guys than anything else.

I am very glad Skyy is catching on, MVS seems to have chemistry and Justin Watson is one of the surprises of camp. If we have to play without Mecole and JuJu at least we will have decent people in place. 

Yessir! Feels good to have depth at the WR position.
