          How the Panthers' depth chart looks after the draft

          CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Here's a look at the projected Carolina Panthers depth chart following the 2015 NFL draft: OFFENSE

          Comment: Keeping a third quarterback with the depth added, particularly at wide receiver, puts Joe Webb’s job in jeopardy.

          Comment: Artis-Payne has played on the big stage at Auburn and can be that every-down back if Stewart is injured. Whittaker couldn’t.

          Comment: A Pro Bowl starter in Tolbert. No upgrades needed.

          Comment: It’s hard to imagine Boykin and Hill making this roster unless they are so good in camp that more than one of the other receivers has to go.

          Comment: You could argue Jerricho Cotchery should be the starter here, but the Panthers invested too much in draft picks for Funchess not to start, if ready. Bersin’s days likely are numbered.

          Comment: Speed and special-teams value will keep both former Ohio State receivers on the roster.

          Comment: If Oher resurrects his career and plays well, then everything the Panthers did in the draft just looked smarter.

          Comment: Silatolu will be a bonus if he can stay healthy.

          Comment: Kalil is the heart and soul of this line.

          Comment: Turner was a steal in the third round last year; Scott is a promising project. Don’t be surprised to see Chandler get time here.

          Comment: Arguably the most competitive spot on the line. Remmers will open workouts as the starter, but don’t be surprised if Martin or Williams wins the job.

          Comment: Perhaps the best group of tight ends in the NFC South. Olsen certainly is the best with Jimmy Graham gone from New Orleans to Seattle. DEFENSE

          Comment: The development of Addison should help give Johnson some rest this season.

          Comment: Nothing not to like here.

          Comment: Same as above.

          Comment: Curious to see what Alexander does after missing 12 games for violating the substance abuse policy in 2014. He potentially has the ability to be an every-down player, as Greg Hardy was.

          Comment: First-round draft pick Shaq Thompson is better suited to play the weak side, so Davis goes to the strong side.

          Comment: Kuechly is one of the best middle linebackers in the NFL, if not the best. Mayo was a tackling machine in college and should help on special teams. He also can play both outside linebacker spots.

          Comment: Putting Thompson on the field with Davis and Kuechly just elevated this top-10 defense and the flexibility defensive coordinator Sean McDermott has.

          Comment: Norman is as close to a shutdown corner as Carolina has.

          Comment: Signing the 34-year-old Tillman in the offseason was big in that it allows Benwikere to move back to the nickel spot where he is best.

          Comment: Panthers were 5-1 (including two playoff games) with Boston the starter down the stretch last season.

          Comment: Will be interesting to see how Harper’s role changes with the addition of Coleman and the flexibility of Thompson to play safety.

          Comment: Benwikere returns where he is best, which makes the defense better. SPECIALISTS Punter: Brad Nortman Kicker: Graham Gano Long snapper: J.J. Jansen Kickoff returner: Jordan Todman, Philly Brown Punt returner: Ted Ginn Jr., Fozzy Whittaker
