Taking his cue from mentor Bill Belichick, Brian Daboll would rather host a self-deprecating comedy hour than discuss where individual players fit on a depth chart 15 weeks before the regular season begins.

So, that resistance is what makes sideline access to offseason practices like Wednesday’s player-voluntary OTA so valuable. It provides an unfettered look at the first-, second- and third-team pecking orders on both sides of the ball — plus which players might earn a roster spot based on their tie-breaking level of involvement on special teams — to help determine which positions still scream out in need of added depth.

It is important to note that the depth chart can slightly change from one practice to another so that competing players get a level playing field — as many receivers as possible catching passes from starting quarterback Daniel Jones, for example — and versatile players get a chance to stake a claim at multiple spots so the coaching staff understands how a reshuffling might look when injury inevitably strikes.

With that in mind, here is an early look at where things stand in eight position battles that The Post will be keeping an eye on during the final three weeks of the offseason program, culminating with mandatory minicamp (June 13-15).
