Carolina Panthers Pre-Draft Depth Chart: Offense

Projecting the Panthers' offense as it stands today.
In this story:

We're less than one week away from the 2023 NFL Draft and the Carolina Panthers offense already looks vastly different. This side of the ball will see a new quarterback in the fold and maybe a couple of other pieces by next week.

But what does the depth chart look like as of today? Here would be my guess,

QB: Andy Dalton, Matt Corral, Jacob Eason

RB: Miles Sanders, Chuba Hubbard, Raheem Blackshear, Spencer Brown

FG: Giovanni Ricci

WR (X): Terrace Marshall Jr., Preston Williams

WR (SL): Adam Thielen, Shi Smith

WR (Z): DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault, Damiere Byrd

TE: Hayden Hurst, Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble, Stephen Sullivan

LT: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Larnel Coleman

LG: Brady Christensen, Cade Mays, Deonte Brown

C: Bradley Bozeman, Sam Tecklenburg, Cade Mays

RG: Austin Corbett, Justin McCray

RT: Taylor Moton

Biggest strength: Offensive line. This is pretty much a no-brainer. This unit willed the Panthers to victory on a few occasions last year and was a big reason why they finished the year with seven wins instead of just three or four. I wouldn't be shocked to see Fitterer add some competition at guard for Christensen but not within the first two rounds. They'll use that second-round pick on a receiver, edge, or linebacker.

Biggest weakness: Quarterback is the obvious answer but this will be fixed with the first pick in the draft. Aside from that, I would say Carolina needs to add another receiver of some sort. Whether it's a big, physical guy that can be a potential go-to target or someone that can stretch the field, help is needed. Terrace Marshall has the potential of being an eventual No. 1 receiver, but he's been too inconsistent throughout the first two years of his career to believe that he'll figure it all out in year three.
