We are closing in on that time…finally.

Training camps around the NFL will open later this month. That means there will be jobs available, some more than others, on all 32 teams.

One of our most valuables assets in keeping up with the many moves around the league is the utilization of the Ourlads depth charts. Don Shonka and his staff do a terrific job keeping everyone up to snuff on a daily basis.

Here, we are going to upset the apple cart a bit. We will try to predict a surprise starter for each squad, bar none, based on factors such as a team looking to add youth to its club, the failure of a regular to live up to his end of the bargain and other factors as well. Some of the choices will have a better shot than others of panning out, and for others, it’s basically a matter of food for thought.

Fair warning: We are going to take some chances with our selections. And while you may think we are completely off the mark on some or all of our choices, rest assured there is a method to our madness. And while some of our picks are far from stunning, we've done our best when it comes to teams that are more settled than others.

Just don’t get mad at us. After all, we are just looking for a different kind of fireworks on the Fourth of July.
