I think we're all pretty universal in saying that Heyer has the RT job sewn up but is everyone comfortable with him for 16 games?
It's been tough to gauge the OL depth because M. Williams has been injured most of camp causing Bridges to play out of position and not really giving us a true look at players in their true positions.
We've seen bad Jason (1-7, 4 completions in 2 games) and good Jason (overall vs. NE) so far in the preseason. How's your comfort level with him?
I for one have been impressed with what I've seen out of Thomas & Kelly and with the addition of Mitchell I am good with our WR corps going into the season. For the first time in YEARS I am actually excited about our group.
Thoughts?

I added the numbers for the questions to enable an easier answer.
1. Obviously Heyer
2. Suspect. Same as last year
3. If you add the long ball, then, possibly better, especially with the added WRs. I'm as comfortable as possible without a decent 2nd stringer behind him. I don't like TC, and CB and CD haven't taken the same control as say a
Garcia, or a Leftwich. To CB and CD's credit, they are younger,
much younger, and stronger than TC!
4. Time will tell, but it seems Kelly has the 2nd or 3rd spot wrapped, Thomas the 4th spot, and Marko (not mentioned in your question part of your post) has the 5th spot. Marko may pass Thomas on the WR depth chart.
Edit: Sorry to post before you had the poll added! But I felt I needed to speak to all concerns.
I have as much concern for the Defense (not mentioned), however; because they have not shown they can stop the opposition and the fact that all of the attention was given to improvement during the off-season.
