KC Chiefs Release First Depth Chart Of The Year

The Kansas City Chiefs released their first depth chart of the year late last night as we await for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Because this is the first depth chart of the year, there were a few notable spots, including:

Jerheme Urban is the No. 2 opposite Dwayne Bowe; Jonathan Baldwin is third string right now; Tyler Palko is second string and Ricky Stanzi is third; Thomas Jones is ahead of Jamaal Charles (just like last year); Kelly Gregg is your No. 1 nose tackle; Jovan Belcher is ahead of Brandon Siler; Javier Arenas is returning punts.

The full depth chart is after the jump and we'll be having a position-by-position analysis of all this so stay tuned throughout the day. And if you'd like to compare depth charts, here's the first one from one year ago today.
