The New York Giants released their first depth chart of training camp Monday. And as they head into Friday's preseason opener in Cincinnati, the chart offers a look into what the coaches are thinking at this still-early stage.

Especially on defense, where the Giants have major question marks on the line and at safety, the depth chart indicates that there's a lot still to sort out. The full chart can be found on Giants.com, but here are a couple of items that stood out to me.

Kerry Wynn and Robert Ayers as the starting defensive ends. Wynn, who made the team as an undrafted player last camp, is the listed starter at left defensive end, which is the run-stuffing end in the Giants' scheme. He's listed ahead of rookie Owamagbe Odighizuwa and recently signed Brad Bars at that spot, whereas Damontre Moore and George Selvie are listed behind Ayers at Jason Pierre-Paul's right defensive end spot. Wynn is the reliable, quiet, do-it-all guy in the pass rush. And while Moore offers a higher ceiling due to his speed and athleticism, it's clear after the past couple of years that the coaching staff still doesn't fully trust him.

Landon Collins and Bennett Jackson as the starting safeties. Rookie Collins looked like a starter from the moment they drafted him, especially given the other options at the position. But Jackson, the converted cornerback they drafted in last year's sixth round, has really seized his opportunity with Nat Berhe sidelined with a calf injury. Jackson could still lose this spot to someone such as Jeromy Miles or Mykkele Thompson, but his listing as a starter is a look at where the Giants' coaches see the race right now.

Daniel Fells as the starting tight end. This time last year, Larry Donnell was the surprise name at the top of the tight end chart. This year, he starts out No. 2 behind Fells. This could reflect that Donnell missed so much spring work due to his Achilles injury, but Fells is the better blocker of the two, and the Giants definitely want Donnell focused on his blocking the rest of camp. They consider him a dynamic passing-game threat, but he has to hold up as a blocker in the run game if he's to get on the field enough to take the next step.

Rashad Jennings as the starting running back. Watching the backs rotate in practice, it has been impossible to get a handle on how they'll be used. Jennings had some practices last week where he was exclusively second-team and did a lot of work on special teams while Andre Williams and Shane Vereen split first-team reps. But Jennings has had some days where he has run with the first team, too. Watch during camp to see whether Williams continues to cut into those first-team reps. It could indicate that he's developing more quickly than they expected.
