# JP Acosta: Reviewing the draft classes, JP made several roster-role calls: Ventrell Miller staying as Jacksonville's second linebacker, Sam Hecht starting at center for Carolina, Trey Zoon as Las Vegas' swing tackle/guard with Brock Bowers as the Raiders' No. 1 receiving option, Antonio Williams as Washington's No. 3 receiver, Chris Bell as a potential true No. 1 receiver in Miami, and Christian Miller as an immediate starting nose tackle in New Orleans. **Claimed:** Apr 27, 2026 **Pundit:** JP Acosta — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jp-acosta **Outlet:** Pushing the Pile (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/pushing-the-pile-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/serve.castfire.com/audio/8174622/8174622_2026-04-12-052522.192.mp3?rssID=6037 7 checkable claims — 7 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 13 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 3. > I think that's a starting center that they got on day three. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Christian Miller to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Christian Miller, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brock Bowers to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trey Zuhn to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Trey Zuhn, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ventrell Miller to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Ventrell Miller, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Antonio Williams to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Antonio Williams, Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sam Hecht to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Sam Hecht, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chris Bell to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Chris Bell, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Christian Miller — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/christian-miller - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/saints - Brock Bowers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/brock-bowers - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/raiders - Trey Zuhn — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/trey-zuhn - Ventrell Miller — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/ventrell-miller - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Antonio Williams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/antonio-williams-1040 - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/commanders - Sam Hecht — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/sam-hecht - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/panthers - Chris Bell — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/chris-bell - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/dolphins ## What others said about the same people - John Shipley on Jack Kiser: Shipley projects a full 16-player (plus one international/exemption spot) Jaguars practice squad for 2026, naming specific players at each position he expects to land there. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c0a52b7c-63b2-4e18-b7da-9342dbbc111f (scored 0) - Nathan Jahnke on Jalen Tolbert: PFF's preseason fantasy recap makes a large number of depth-chart, role and fantasy-value calls across the league, including Chig Okonkwo as a top sleeper tight end, Tre Tucker as the Raiders' top receiver, and various backfield hierarchies. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/760054fd-7815-4b86-a9e3-bc9bdb0a730b (scored 0) - Nathan Jahnke on Jalen Tolbert: PFF's fantasy football preseason recap projects depth-chart outcomes, roster spots and fantasy value for numerous players across several preseason games, including Chig Okonkwo's expanded role in Washington, Ja'Kobi Lane as Baltimore's WR3, Malachi Fields winning the Giants' starting X job, and Zachariah Branch being a fantasy bust relative to his late-round cost. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/22a4578b-eb92-41d2-820b-1a7eaa2e4e2f (scored 0) - Jared Dubin on Daniel Faalele: Dubin grades the Faalele trade, predicting Faalele has a decent chance to be Jacksonville's Week 1 starting right guard in competition with Wyatt Milum, and that Evan Neal's odds of making the Giants' 53-man roster improved while Jon Runyan and Francis Mauigoa hold the Giants' starting guard jobs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/aae46267-fc6d-44c1-a96c-7355b3db857b (scored 0) - Seth Walder on Kayshon Boutte: Walder proposes five trades he believes should happen before Week 1 of the 2026 season: Jessie Bates III to the 49ers, Kayvon Thibodeaux to the Patriots, Keon Coleman to the Colts, Walker Little to the Cardinals, and Kayshon Boutte to the Commanders, where he says Boutte would immediately be Washington's No. 2 receiver. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/0263bd78-6c5c-41c5-8615-0467d8ef521a (scored 0) - John Shipley on Patrick Mekari: Shipley projects second-year cornerback Jabbar Muhammad to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster and describes him as the team's clear No. 5 cornerback, a role that would earn him a game-day jersey.
