With the 2020 NFL draft now just one week away, here’s a look at the Broncos’ projected secondary depth chart as it stands right now:
| Cornerback | Safety | Safety | Dime | Cornerback |
| Bryce Callahan | Kareem Jackson | Justin Simmons | Duke Dawson | A.J. Bouye |
| Davontae Harris | Trey Marshall | Alijah Holder | Shakial Taylor | De’Vante Bausby |
| Isaac Yiadom | P.J. Locke | Kahani Smith | Tyvis Powell |
Denver has a pretty good group of starters but the team is lacking depth across the board. If any of the team’s starters are injured (like Callahan was last year), the secondary will suffer greatly.
After losing Chris Harris to the Chargers during free agency, the Broncos have a big hole at cornerback. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the team use one of their first picks in the draft on a cornerback.
Denver also needs more depth at safety. Simmons should be a reliable defensive back for years to come (assuming he agrees to a contract extension) but Jackson is 32 years old and will need to be replaced in the coming years.
The Broncos should target a cornerback early and add a safety in the mid-rounds of the draft next week. Denver will have 10 picks to use.
