As we wrap up our 2020 depth chart prediction series for the Denver Broncos, today we’re going to be looking at the linebacker position.
Previously, we predicted QB, RB, TE, WR, OL, DL, LB and CB depth charts for the Broncos. Here’s a look at our safety prediction:
| Justin Simmons | Kareem Jackson |
| Douglas Coleman III | Trey Marshall |
| Alijah Holder | P.J. Locke |
| Kahani Smith |
Last year, Denver carried two starters and two backup safeties on the initial 53-man roster. That will probably be the strategy again this year.
Marshall is the most experienced backup on the roster and he is the favorite to replace Will Parks as the team’s new No. 3 safety. That leaves four safeties competing for just one remaining spot in the back of the secondary.
Holder will have an experience edge over Coleman, which might give him an advantage in the competition. If he doesn’t make the active roster, Coleman will likely make the practice squad.
Right now, though, Coleman might be the favorite for the No. 4 job.
