On Tuesday, the New York Giants unveiled their first unofficial depth chart in preparation for their preseason game against the Buffalo Bills this weekend.
Nonetheless, these first depth maps may provide a glimpse of what’s to come, but with limited significance. They also define potential roles for players in their respective positional battles, which may change over the preseason and training camp.
Here’s a quick look at seven key takeaways from the Giants’ first unofficial depth chart.
While Banks is at the top of the list, the CB2 position next to Paulson Adebo is listed as “or” Flott, despite the fact that Flott has lately been absent from practice due to injury.
Following that combo comes Korie Black and Dee Williams.
Tre Hawkins and Art Green take over as CB1s from Adebo.
Despite speculation that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart may overtake Russell Wilson for the starting job or Jameis Winston for the backup post, he is currently ranked third, slightly ahead of Tommy DeVito.
DeVito is likely to either join the practice squad or enter the free agent market as the regular season begins.
Evan Neal, a former right tackle, has moved to right guard, serving as the backup to the seasoned Greg Van Roten.
Despite receiving accolades from both coaches and teammates and participating in a large amount of first-team reps, Neal still has a long way to go before he can secure a starting position.
Jake Kubas and Jaison Williams stand to each side of Neal.
As expected, Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Wan’Dale Robinson will be the three starting wide receivers. The narrative deepens as Jalin, Hyatt, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, and Lil’Jordan Humphrey take the spotlight as vital reserves.
Zach Pascal and Montrell Washington are just two of the many undrafted rookie free agents, a situation that is likely to change as the summer progresses.
Even though rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter had evident talent throughout training camp, he now finds himself as a backup to seasoned veteran Brian Burns, with Kayvon Thibodeaux taking over as the starting defensive end.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. leads the way as the primary running back, with Devin Singletary serving as the backup, and rookie Cam Skattebo fills in as the third option.
Thomas Fidone is identified as TE 5.
