    Mike Evans to be 1st on the depth chart

    Desperate for a true outside receiver, Kyle Shanahan’s offense has dreamed of having a player like Evans. With De’Zhaun Stribling making splashes this offseason, it is clear that Evans will be working alongside the second-round rookie.

    Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart

    Sanders is locked in a battle with Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback job in Cleveland, and so far, it seems the former is the clubhouse leader for the job... His up-and-down start to camp has put Sanders in the driver's seat.

    Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart

    The fact that Nailor played and Tucker sat with the other starters means that Tucker is likely the No. 1 receiver in Las Vegas.
