With free agency and the draft completed, and OTAs and minicamps scheduled for the next month and a half, here’s a closer look at the depth chart for the Seattle Seahawks (starters in bold):

OFFENSE

Quarterback (4): Russell Wilson, Austin Davis, Stephen Morris, Alex McGough

McGough, a seventh-round pick, is the only quarterback besides Wilson that the Seahawks have drafted since coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider took over in 2010. Davis is still the favorite to back up Wilson, who hasn't missed a game in his six NFL seasons, and Seattle typically keeps only two quarterbacks on its 53-man roster.

Running back (9): Rashaad Penny, Chris Carson, Mike Davis, J.D. McKissic, C.J. Prosise, FB Jalston Fowler, FB Tre Madden, FB Marcus Martin, FB Khalid Hill

Penny is the favorite to win the starting job after Seattle chose him 27th overall, but Carson will give the rookie a strong push for the job now that he's healthy following an ankle/leg injury that cut short his promising rookie season. Whoever starts, expect the other to mix in with either McKissic, Davis or Prosise handling third-down duties.

Wide receiver (11): Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Jaron Brown, Amara Darboh, Marcus Johnson, David Moore, Tanner McEvoy, Cyril Grayson, Ka'Raun White, Caleb Scott, Taj Williams

Baldwin's 29 receiving touchdowns over the past three seasons are second only to Antonio Brown's 31. Adding Jaron Brown (6-foot-2, 205 pounds) in free agency gave the Seahawks some good size at the position. Lockett is playing for his next contract as he enters the last year of his rookie deal.

Tight end (4): Ed Dickson, Nick Vannett, Will Dissly, Tyrone Swoopes

Dickson is in line to replace Jimmy Graham, who signed with the Packers after scoring 10 touchdowns last season. Dissly, a fourth-round pick, will compete with Vannett for the No. 2 job formerly held by Luke Willson, who also left in free agency.

Tackle (6): Duane Brown, Germain Ifedi, George Fant, Jamarco Jones, Isaiah Battle, Willie Beavers

The Seahawks didn't draft an offensive lineman until Jones in the fifth round, but they gave up their second-round pick in the trade for Brown last October. They need Ifedi, a 2016 first-round pick, to make a jump in his third season after leading the NFL with 16 accepted penalties last season.

Guard (5): Ethan Pocic, D.J. Fluker, Rees Odhiambo, Jordan Roos, Skyler Phillips

Pocic, last year's second-round pick and the projected starter at left guard, has bulked up a bit this offseason after playing at 309 pounds last season. At 6-foot-5 and 342 pounds, Fluker is an even bigger presence at right guard. The team signed him in free agency with an eye towards fixing its broken running game.

Center (3): Justin Britt, Joey Hunt, Brad Lundblade

Britt enters his third year at center after bouncing around the offensive line during his first two NFL seasons.

DEFENSE

Cornerback (9): Shaquill Griffin, Byron Maxwell, Justin Coleman, Dontae Johnson, Neiko Thorpe, DeAndre Elliott, Tre Flowers, Mike Tyson, Akeem King

The post-Richard Sherman era begins. Maxwell, who is back on a one-year deal, is the favorite to start at left cornerback after stepping in there last season following Sherman's Achilles injury. Griffin looks like he'll be a mainstay at right cornerback after a strong rookie season in 2017.

Safety (7): Earl Thomas, Bradley McDougald, Delano Hill, Tedric Thompson, Maurice Alexander, Alex Carter, Kam Chancellor

A Thomas trade is much harder to imagine now that the draft has come and gone. Will Seattle give him an extension or have him play out the final year of his contract? McDougald is the projected starter at strong safety with Chancellor's football future still in doubt because of a neck/spine injury.

Linebaker (10): Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright, Barkevious Mingo, Shaquem Griffin, D.J. Alexander, Paul Dawson, Emmanuel Beal, Jason Hall, Warren Long, Jake Pugh

Griffin is projected to back up Wright on the weak side so, barring injury, his only playing time on defense will likely come in a sub-package role. With all the turnover in the secondary and defensive line, the linebacker corps should be the strength of Seattle's defense in 2018. Wagner was named first-team All-Pro for the third time last season while Wright has a Pro Bowl on his resume.

Defensive line (16): Frank Clark, Dion Jordan, Jarran Reed, Shamar Stephen, Tom Johnson, Nazair Jones, Rasheem Green, Marcus Smith, Branden Jackson, Quinton Jefferson, Jake Martin, Noble Nwachukwu, Malik McDowell, Marcell Frazier, Eddy Wilson, Poona Ford

No position group on Seattle's roster will look more different than this one. Seattle traded Michael Bennett, lost Sheldon Richardson in free agency and released Cliff Avril. Green, Seattle's third-round pick, could push Jordan for a starting job at end opposite Clark and should be a part of Seattle's interior pass-rush in nickel situations either way.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Punter (2): Michael Dickson, Jon Ryan

How badly did the Seahawks want to draft Dickson? They traded up in the fifth(!) round to get him, which cost them a seventh-rounder as well. From the sounds of it, Ryan will have a chance to compete to keep his job, but the writing seems to be on the wall for the longest-tenured Seahawk.

Kicker (2): Sebastian Janikowski, Jason Myers

The job is Janikowski's to lose after Seattle gave him a $600,000 signing bonus as part of his one-year, $2.015 million deal. At the risk of piling on (and bringing up bad memories), the Seahawks probably would have been in the playoffs last season if they had a more accurate kicker than Blair Walsh.

Long snapper (2): Tyler Ott, Tanner Carew

Ott will have competition for the job in Carew, an undrafted free agent out of Oregon.

Kick returner (2): Tyler Lockett, Rashaad Penny

Lockett's 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Week 17 of last season was his first special-teams score since he had two as a rookie in 2015. Penny doubled as an excellent kickoff returner in college, scoring seven touchdowns and racking up 2,449 yards over his four seasons at San Diego State.

Punt returner (1): Tyler Lockett

The Seahawks' special teams should be better after a disappointing 2017 season across the board. Lockett returning to his All-Pro form from 2015 would be a big help.
