Merged: TE/H-back depth chart

[joecrisp]

Still haven't found any confirmation on the Baxter signing...


On average, Gibbs carried between 5 and 6 TEs/H-backs on his roster during his first run with the Skins.

They'll probably wind up keeing six of these guys, and assuming that Baxter has indeed been signed, this is how I would see the depth chart shaking out in training camp:

TE:
1. Rasby
2. Baxter
3. Kozlowski
4. Ware

H-back:
1. Cooley
2. Sellers
3. Kozlowski/Ware

I know some folks are high on Royal as a receiving TE, but I haven't been impressed with him at all in the past two minicamps; whereas Ware really seemed to be putting forth an excellent effort and looked solid. Ware just looks like more of a Gibbs guy at this point, and seems to fit the blocking TE role better than Royal. But of course, it's early.

That would put Royal and Stephens on the cut list. If Baxter is a mirage, then Royal makes it.
