Jackson Carman At Bottom Of Depth Chart

It's worth noting that neither Sample nor Higgins started Game 1 of their rookie year, both of which were 2nd round picks under Taylor. Higgins was 33rd pick, so much higher than either Sample or Carman.

The WRs ahead of Higgins through the preseason and into Game 1 were Green, Boyd, and Ross.
Eifert and Uzomah were ahead of Sample in 2019, and then Uzomah was ahead of Sample last year before going down.

My point is that we shouldn't necessarily expect that Carman has to start Week 1 as a rookie.
As long as he can work his way into the starting lineup sometime this year, that's considered good.
