Panthers’ projected offensive depth chart following minicamp

Before we fully dive into summer break, let’s graze over our projections for what the offensive side of the Carolina Panthers’ depth chart currently looks like.

Position	1st string	2nd string	3rd string
QB	Bryce Young	Andy Dalton	Matt Corral

Well, that didn’t take long.

After tasking the No. 1 overall pick with “earning” his No. 1 spot on the depth chart, head coach Frank Reich and the Panthers handed the reins over to Young right before the start of minicamp.

Position	1st string	2nd string	3rd string	4th string	5th string	6th string
RB	Miles Sanders	Chuba Hubbard	Raheem Blackshear	Spencer Brown	Cam Peoples	Tiyon Evans
FB	Giovanni Ricci

Besides the addition of the undrafted rookie in Evans, the outlook here remains the same—with Sanders leading the bunch.

Position	1st string	2nd string	3rd string	4th string
WR	Terrace Marshall Jr.	Jonathan Mingo	Damiere Byrd	Marquez Stevenson
WR	DJ Chark	Laviska Shenault Jr.	Derek Wright	Gary Jennings
SWR	Adam Thielen	Shi Smith	C.J. Saunders	Josh Vann
TE	Hayden Hurst	Ian Thomas	Tommy Tremble	Stephen Sullivan

The second-round selection Mingo has been turning some heads early on this offseason. He could rise up the ranks with an even stronger summer.

Position	1st string	2nd string	3rd string	4th string
LT	Ikem Ekwonu	Cameron Erving	J.D. DiRenzo
LG	Brady Christensen	Chandler Zavala	Michael Jordan	Nash Jensen
C	Bradley Bozeman	Sam Tecklenburg
RG	Austin Corbett*	Justin McCray	Cade Mays	Deonte Brown
RT	Taylor Moton	Larnel Coleman	Ricky Lee	BJ Wilson

As Corbett takes more time to heal up from a torn ACL, the interior spots will be particularly interesting to watch this summer. Christensen and Zavala could battle for left guard, with the “loser” shifting over to the right to start the season.

The Panthers also have a veteran option in McCray, who has the most experience at right guard outside of Corbett.
