Jets Release First Unofficial Depth Chart With 0 Rookies on First Team

3 articles · Updated · Gang Green Nation · Aug 11

Summary

  • The Jets' first unofficial depth chart listed no rookies with the first team, a notable early snapshot after New York made three first-round picks in April.
  • That omission may say little about the real pecking order because the chart was assembled by the PR staff, not the coaching staff, and teams often make rookies earn starting spots.
  • Training-camp observations still point to several newcomers pushing for major roles, with David Bailey and Kenyon Sadiq expected to contribute heavily and Omar Cooper seen as a candidate for the WR3 job.
  • Preseason games should offer the first clearer read on the actual lineup, with the current chart serving mainly as a rough draft rather than a firm coaching decision.
