Heading into the 2nd week of OTA's the Atlanta Falcons have made some rather surprising roster moves. 2014 4th Round draft pick was waived after he was arrested on charges of animal cruelty. Shembo's roster spot was taken by recently waived guard Chris Chester formerly of the Washington Redskins. Chris Chester inked a one-year 2.8 million dollar contract. The offensive line competition seems to ramp up every day and it will be interesting to see whose starting either guard position or right tackle.

Prince Shembo was slated to move to outside linebacker before his sudden release. Chris Chester has been practicing with the second team at right guard but is believed to be moved to starting lineup at left guard. Mike Person has been starting at left guard since OTA's started last week. Here is my take on what the Atlanta Falcons depth chart should be as of the second week of OTA's. The starters will be based off maximizing talent, the best will play first.
