Changes:

1) Starter at LG changed from Fanaika to Hamilton. This is interesting. It is a position change for Hamilton. Not unheard of in the least, but if a tackle is better at guard than a guy (Fanaika) who started there last year, then that is saying something about how Hamilton is playing. Of course, the goal is to get the five best OL out there, which is apparently, right now, Little, Hamilton, HeBIG, Hall, and Burkett (kinda). 

Fanaika isn't back to full health yet, or at least full health plus full playing condition. It may be that Hamilton will beat him out for the spot permanently (he's certainly been at the position lately - and I suspect he has more potential), but I think that right now the depth chart reflects health.  

3) Starter at DT changed from DWP to Williams.

As far as I know, that isn't a change from any previous depth chart - and of course Williams actually played last year but not DWP. 
With the heart surgery I had wondered if he'd play again, but his recovery seems to be a remarkable story. 

4) Starter at CB changed from Murphy to Adebo. I am most surprised here. Murphy (a team captain) started most of last year, and Adebo didn't play one down. So the fact that Adebo gets the start says something about his ability. Murphy, of course, will be the NB.

Murphy is listed as an "or" starter with Holder. I suspect that upward move is based upon Holder's still uncertain health. Murphy has been a contributor for a long time now, and glad to see him atop a depth chart.

Would love to know how close Adebo got to playing last year (apparently "quite close"). There was buzz on him from the start. Holder played in 8 games last year (I think one an aborted attempt to come back from injury). That's rather late to change a red shirt decision, especially since an experienced guy was available in Murphy.
