As we continue our 2020 depth chart prediction series for the Denver Broncos, today we’re going to be looking at the offensive line.
Previously, we predicted the QB, RB, TE and WR depth charts.
Here’s our way-too-early prediction for the Broncos’ offensive line:
| LT | LG | C | RG | RT |
| Garett Bolles | Dalton Risner | Lloyd Cushenberry III | Graham Glasgow | Ja’Wuan James |
| Elijah Wilkinson | Austin Schlottmann | Patrick Morris | Netane Muti | Calvin Anderson |
| Tyler Jones | Nico Falah | Quinn Bailey | Jake Rodgers | |
For the sake of simplicity, each player is only listed once but there could be a single player who ends up serving as a backup for multiple positions (for example, Wilkinson could be the top backup guard and top backup tackle).
Unless Wilkinson has an amazing summer and upsets Bolles for a starting job, the starting five seems pretty easy to predict. The backup spots are where things get interesting.
Wilkinson seems to be a lock and Muti will undoubtedly make the 53-man roster. Depending on how many offensive linemen Denver carries, there might be just one opening after Wilkinson and Muti.
Some of the offensive linemen that don’t make the active roster will end up on the Broncos’ practice squad. Anderson could be a dark horse to watch for this summer but Schlottmann provides depth at two positions, which might make him more likely to make the team.
The backup (and perhaps left tackle) jobs will be sorted out this summer, assuming Denver will be able to hold a training camp this summer.
