# Jordan Dajani: In a survey of every team's first unofficial depth chart, the unsigned piece predicts Jeremiyah Love will eventually take over as Arizona's starting running back, tabs Braxton Jones as the favorite to win Chicago's left tackle job, names Caleb Downs a leading Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate, calls Seattle rookie Jadarian Price a favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year, and floats Bryce Lance as a sleeper in New Orleans. **Claimed:** Aug 14, 2026 **Pundit:** Jordan Dajani — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jordan-dajani **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/one-takeaway-from-each-nfl-teams-first-depth-chart/ 5 checkable claims — 2 award picks, 2 depth chart calls and 1 sleeper call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > It's expected that Love will overtake Allgeier on the depth chart at some point, but the former Falcon will still have a role in this offense. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Caleb Downs to win Defensive Rookie of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Caleb Downs, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bryce Lance to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Bryce Lance, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Braxton Jones to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Braxton Jones, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jadarian Price to win Offensive Rookie of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Jadarian Price, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jeremiyah Love, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Caleb Downs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/caleb-downs - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Bryce Lance — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/bryce-lance - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/saints - Braxton Jones — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/braxton-jones - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Jadarian Price — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jadarian-price - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Jeremiyah Love — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jeremiyah-love - Arizona Cardinals — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cardinals ## What others said about the same people - Tyler Sullivan on Drew Lock: In an unsigned Week 2 odds roundup, the piece states that with Sam Darnold hurt, Drew Lock will likely start at quarterback for Seattle against Arizona. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8a14b5e6-066b-457f-b409-a3ddbd512aca (scored 0) - Mike Moraitis on DaRon Bland: Moraitis names five Cowboys he expects to be playing their final season opener in Dallas in 2026: George Pickens (likely tag-and-trade or departure), Malik Hooker, Luke Schoonmaker, DeMarvion Overshown and DaRon Bland. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/66b5ed7b-41bd-4f67-9b4d-16eae4675e67 (scored 100) - Mike Moraitis on Ozzy Trapilo: Moraitis writes that although Braxton Jones has looked like the favorite, Ozzy Trapilo is likely to take over as the Bears' starting left tackle once he's healthy enough to play. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cdfe5f0f-6783-4730-b9bb-d942e28b037a (scored 0) - Pete Martuneac on Ozzy Trapilo: After Trapilo's activation from the PUP list roughly seven months after rupturing his patellar tendon, Martuneac says the Bears' left tackle competition is over and Trapilo will be starting at left tackle early in the 2026 season, even if not by Week 1. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/d42f10ad-a71c-4ea9-95e8-2b53fde77971 (scored 0) - Henry McKenna on Carson Beck: McKenna predicts Kyler Murray will win the Vikings' starting QB job over J.J.
