Depth Chart: TE & OL

TE: Jack Doyle, Eric Swoope, Brandon Williams, Mo Alie-Cox

Other tight ends on the current roster include Darrell Daniels and Colin Jeter. This group will be thinned out before the season and yet again, the competition here will be something to keep an eye on.

I expect Mo Alie-Cox to climb the ranks as he gets a handle in the position. Offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski loves to utilize tight ends and it won’t take long to see what these guys can offer.

LT: Anthony Costanzo, Zach Banner

LG: Jack Mewhort, Denzelle Good

C: Ryan Kelly, Brian Schwenke, Austin Blythe

RG: Joe Haeg, Denzelle Good

RT: Le’Raven Clark, Zach Banner

Zach Banner may need to fine tune his skill set before earning the starting nod. There are a plenty of other guys on the current roster that are looking to claim a spot of their own and I do expect a lot of fluidity among this group as coaches determine the best possible arrangement. Keeping Andrew Luck alive and/or healthy is of paramount importance, so they’ll look for the best way to ensure that.
