The NFL draft all but completed the 2014 depth chart for the Carolina Panthers barring any surprises from undrafted free agents they sign.

Here's a look at it now and how the rookies (all caps) fit in:

Quarterback

Projected starter: Cam Newton

Backups: Derek Anderson, Joe Webb, Matt Blanchard

Comment: Biggest concern is getting Newton back from ankle surgery so he can work with his new receivers.

Running back

Projected starter: DeAngelo Williams

Backups: Jonathan Stewart, Kenjon Barner, TY GAFFNEY

Comment: Gaffney was an interesting choice in the sixth round as crowded as the backfield is. It will be even more interesting to see how Carolina gets him on the field. Maybe on special teams.

Fullback

Projected starter: Mike Tolbert

Backups: Richie Brockel, Michael Zordich

Comment: A 6-foot, 226 pounds, there's a chance the Panthers could work Gaffney in here a bit. He's a versatile athlete, having given up a pro baseball career to play football.

Wide receiver

Tight end

Center

Projected starter: Ryan Kalil

Backups: TRAI TURNER, Brian Folkerts

Comment: This position is solid with a perennial Pro Bowl selection in Kalil. The team likely will teach third-round pick Turner how to play center as well as right guard, his primary position.

Left tackle

Projected starter: Byron Bell or Nate Chandler

Backups: Bell or Chandler, Travis Bond, Andrew McDonald

Comment: No way to say one player has this job, although Bell will go in as the heir apparent to retired Jordan Gross. I'm still surprised this position wasn't addressed in the draft, but the Panthers felt after the first four tackles were selected the players on their roster were a better value than anybody they could pick.

Left Guard

Projected starter: Amini Silatolu

Backups: Edmund Kugbila, Michael Jasper, Oscar Johnson

Comment: This position should be in good shape if Silatolu is fully recovered from a torn ACL suffered last season.

Right Guard

Projected starter: TRAI TURNER or Chris Scott

Backups: TURNER or Scott, Garry Williams, Derek Dennis, Phillipkeith Manley

Comment: It may be too early to pencil in third-round pick Turner as the starter here, but at 6-2 1/2 and 310 pounds and what the coaches call a "nasty'' attitude, it's hard not to.

Right tackle

Projected starter: Garry Williams or Nate Chandler

Backups: Williams or Chandler

Comment: Williams has started 13 games at right tackle, so he'll begin as the starter. The loser of the left tackle job between Bell and Chandler also could figure in as a starter, particularly Bell who was the regular here a year ago.

DEFENSE

Left end

Projected starter: Charles Johnson

Backups: Mario Addison, KONY EALY, Frank Alexander *, Wes Horton, Craig Roh, Alex Hall

Comment: The second-round pick Ealy can be eased into the lineup as a pass-rush specialist and give Johnson a break. The nice thing about the rookie from Missouri is he can play either end and move inside to tackle. *Suspended first four games

Right end

Projected starter: Greg Hardy

Backups: Mario Addison, KONY EALY, Frank Alexander *, Wes Horton, Craig Roh, Alex Hall

Comment: When Carolina moves Hardy inside as it did at times last season, Ealy can step right into the end spot. *Suspended first four games

Tackle

Tackle

Projected starter: Dwan Edwards

Backups: Colin Cole, Linden Gaydosh

Comment: This position is solid. Any of the top four tackles can play either spot and rotate in.

Inside linebacker

Projected starter: Luke Kuechly

Backups: Chase Blackburn, D.J. Smith, Ben Jacobs

Comments: I really thought Carolina might look for depth here, but the reigning NFC Defensive Player of the Year (Kuechly) never comes off the field so that player would have been relegated to special teams anyway.

Strongside linebacker

Projected starter: Thomas Davis

Backups: A.J. Klein, Jason Williams

Comments: Klein is a budding star just waiting for his opportunity.

Weakside linebacker

Projected starter: Chase Blackburn

Backup: A.J. Klein

Comment: See above comment.

Left cornerback

Projected starter: Antoine Cason

Backups: Josh Norman, De'Andre Presley, James Dockery, BENE BENWIKERE

Comment: The Panthers are hoping Cason returns to the form he showed a few years ago in San Diego, where he once played for Carolina coach Ron Rivera. It would be a reach to think fifth-round pick Benwikere will figure in as a starter, but he will be given a shot to play nickelback.

Right cornerback

Projected starter: Charles Johnson

Backups: Melvin White, Josh Thomas, BENE BENWIKERE, DeQuan Menzie

Comment: I know White started much of last season here, but the Panthers are going to give Godfrey a chance to move from safety to cornerback and it's my guess they did it with the hope that he'll start on one side.

Strong safety

Projected starter: Roman Harper

Backups: Robert Lester, Russell Anderson

Comment: The veteran Harper gives Lester, who started a handful of games last year here, a chance to grow into the position.

Free safety
