3 surprises from Packers first depth chart and 2 things we expected
Surprise: Tyler Davis ahead of Tucker Kraft
Perhaps the biggest surprise on offense is at tight end. Luke Musgrave is the starter, with Josiah Deguara listed as a fullback -- so far, so good.
The first real surprise comes in the second-team offense. Green Bay has Tyler Davis listed ahead of rookie Tucker Kraft, who is part of the third team. While Kraft isn't likely to start early in his career, it's notable that Davis is ahead of him.
Davis barely played on offense last season, catching four passes for 26 yards. His main role came on special teams, where he led the Packers in snaps. Perhaps this is an indication that Davis will see an increase in playing time on offense.
As expected: Zach Tom starting right tackle
All signs have pointed to Zach Tom starting at right tackle ahead of Yosh Nijman, and the depth chart reflects this.
Tom has regularly been part of the first-team offense ahead of Nijman at camp. He has occasionally replaced Josh Myers in the starting lineup at center, but most of his work has come at right tackle.
Tom will almost certainly make Green Bay's starting five in Week 1. It's just a question of whether he starts at right tackle or center. For now, the former is the most likely.
