# Jacob Westendorf: Analyzing the Packers' unofficial depth chart, Westendorf endorses some listings as real (Love at QB, Morgan at LT, John Williams as backup left tackle, Cisse starting at cornerback) while predicting Javon Hargrave will start on the defensive line and Belton may lose the right guard job and convert to swing tackle.

6 checkable claims — 6 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

> For now, however, it looks like Cisse is in line to start his first game.
