As we continue our 2020 depth chart prediction series for the Denver Broncos, today we’re going to be looking at cornerback.
Previously, we predicted the QB, RB, TE, WR, OL and DL depth charts.
Here’s a way-too-early projection for the team’s cornerback room:
| Cornerback | Slot | Cornerback |
| A.J. Bouye | Duke Dawson Jr. | Bryce Callahan |
| Davontae Harris | De’Vante Bausby | Michael Ojemudia |
| Essang Bassey | Shakial Taylor | Isaac Yiadom |
There’s a chance that Callahan could end up being the slot cornerback, like he was with the Chicago Bears. Callahan spent time on the outside last spring, though, and Denver liked Dawson as a slot cornerback before he was injured last season.
Bouye is a locked-in starter — Callahan and Ojemudia might be the favorites to start across from him, depending on how the slot situation shakes out. Harris and Bausby had stretches of strong play last year so they should have decent chances to make the team again this season.
Bassey was one of the top undrafted free agents available in April and he could be a sleeper to make the 53-man roster. Yiadom, a former third-round pick, will face fierce competition to make the team. Taylor will also face long odds, but he could make the squad with a strong training camp.
The Broncos carried six cornerbacks on their initial roster in 2019.
