The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Broncos have a fresh crop of draft picks and undrafted rookies joining their roster. Due to this, their depth chart looks a bit different than it did a week ago, now that they have added 20+ new players to their roster.

So, with all that said, let us take a look at the Broncos’ projected depth chart coming out of the draft.

Note: I used Ourlads.com as a reference for this since the Broncos do not have an official depth chart currently.

Notes

Second-round pick R.J. Harvey instantly slides into the starting role for the Broncos. After him, we’ll have to wait and see on the pecking order. Audric Estime is really the only between-the-tackles power back they have on the roster, and Harvey basically replaces McLaughlin’s role on offense. The other question is, will the Broncos add a veteran to this backfield? J.K. Dobbins and Nick Chubb are still free agents, and veterans could be available for trade after the draft.
Third-round pick Pat Bryant has an opportunity to have a big role on offense in his rookie year. They felt highly enough of him to select him on day two with Vele and Franklin on the roster, and they have Lil’Jordan Humphrey’s 50% snap share to replace.
After Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Pat Bryant, Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin, and Trent Sherfield, there are not many roster spots available for the rest of the receivers on the roster.
The Broncos did not draft an offensive lineman, but UDFA’s Xavier Truss, Clay Webb, and Joe Michalski have a chance to push Alex Forsyth, Calvin Throckmorton, and Nick Gargiulo for a roster spot or a spot on the practice squad.
Tight end remains surprisingly mostly unchanged outside of 7th-round pick Caleb Lohner, who has played one year of football and appears to be a long-term project. His development will be something to watch as we progress through the summer.
There are very few starting roles and even roster spots up for grabs on offense. The pecking order at RB and WR will be interesting, and the backup OL battle, but outside of that, you can probably pencil in the starters and most of the backups here.

Notes

Broncos first-round pick CB Jahdae Barron instantly slides into the starting slot cornerback spot ahead of Ja’Quan McMillian. It remains to be seen how he and Moss will align come week one, but for now, Barron is in the slot and Moss is on the outside.
How things shake out with McMillian, Kris Abrams-Draine, Dammari Mathis, and the rest of the Broncos’ corners will be interesting to watch as we progress through the offseason and into training camp.
Third-round pick Sai’vion Jones will slide into the defensive line rotation ahead of Jordan Jackson and Eyioma Uwazurike. He is a fun height/weight/length/athleticism combo with some potential, so his development will be fun to watch as we progress through the summer.
Fourth-round pick Que Robinson will slide in as the Broncos’ 5th edge rusher behind Bonitto, Cooper, Eliss, and Tillman. This will help with his development, and we’ll see how much he can contribute throughout his rookie year.
The linebacker spot is probably the position with the most uncertainty moving forward. Greenlaw and Singleton are coming back from injury, and we’ll have to see how they look and if they can stay healthy. Drew Sanders is a bit of a wildcard here. This is his first full offseason in his NFL career, and he’s at a make-or-break point for his career. Strnad is locked in as a special-teams ace, and we’ll have to see if the rest can push for a roster spot or not.
The safety position is another interesting one. Brandon Jones and Talanoa Hufanga are locked in as your starters, with P.J. Locke likely as your main backup. Sam Franklin is a special-teams ace, while the rest are all on the roster bubble or currently on the outside looking in.
There are not many, if any at all, starting spots up for grabs right now on defense. Your D-line, edge rusher, corners, and safeties are all penciled in right now. You can make a case that Sanders could push Singleton, but that’s about it. Most of your backups/reserves are set in stone, too, but those final few roster spots could be pretty competitive.

Special Teams

Kicker: Wil Lutz

Punter: Jeremy Crawshaw and Matt Haack

Kick/Punt Returner: Marvin Mims

Longsnapper: Mitchell Fraboni and Zach Triner

Notes
The Broncos spent a 6th-round pick on punter Jeremy Crawshaw, and he is the heavy favorite to be the Broncos’ punter. He was viewed as the top punter in the draft, and his competition is journeyman Matt Haack, who has not been a full-time punter in a few years. The writing is on the wall here.
