Broncos released their Week One official Depth Chart

Bobby Epps : 9/2/2014 9:17 am
and Marvin Austin is the 2d string NT.

Guess we'll find out whether he can play NT.
Nose Tackle doesn't seem like it would suit him at all.

.
Matt McCants is the Raiders 2nd string tackle, swing tackle  
Mason : 9/2/2014 9:25 am : link
And beat out rookie and FAs to secure the job. They love him. Here he was put at center.

<shrugs>
I am pretty sure McCants did not play center while he was here..

Ryan Nassib’s career got off to a nightmarish start when he entered the game early in the fourth quarter. The rookie’s first drive featured a false start by one his offensive linemen, a sack, a delay-of-game penalty and then a bad snap (by tackle-turned-center Matt McCants) that went over Nassib’s head and was recovered by the Steelers for a touchdown. Then there was a hold on the next drive followed by another sack.

we actually drafted a decent OL with a late round pick, and then just gave him away to the Raiders? Apparently so. McCants was terrible here, but he obviously wasn't coached or developed well.
It's un-Giants like to give up on a draft pick  
Ten Ton Hammer : 9/2/2014 10:58 am : link
as quickly as they did. I wonder if we'll ever know the full story there.
We don't know..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 9/2/2014 10:59 am : link
if it was a bad move or not. It is the Raiders for God's sake. And he's a backup. That could speak to how shitty their line is above anything else.

I don't know how evaluating a backup can say anything good or bad about the team he came from.

and succeed at the next one?

Sometimes things don't work out, then they do elsewhere.
Dude couldn't stay healthy for the Giants

Wish him well.

This.
If he does well, does Reese get credit for the draft pick?  
BeerFridge : 9/2/2014 11:26 am : link
Or does he get blame for letting him go to early?
