We take a look at the Broncos current depth chart as we head into the 2024 NFL Draft.

We are just hours away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft and rumors are swirling about what our Denver Broncos are going to do. We all know the drama surrounding the quarterback position. Will they trade up, trade back, or take a quarterback in the first or later on day two? The Broncos have other holes on their roster as well and will try to address them with their other picks likely on day 3 of the draft.

Before we get to all that, we need to take a look at the current Broncos depth chart. From there, we can see the holes on the roster and start speculating on what prospects and positions the Broncos should add in the draft.

So with all that said, here is your Denver Broncos pre-draft depth chart.

Thoughts

  • Quarterback: With Zach Wilson recently added to the room, the Broncos now have three quarterbacks but still no real answer. The addition of Wilson gives them some insurance if they cannot draft a top quarterback, but he does not change their first-round plans. If the Broncos do draft a quarterback, I think Stidham and Wilson could be fighting for one roster spot, but we shall see. We will see another quarterback added to this room during the draft, but who and when is the big question.
  • Running Back: The Broncos are doing a bit of work on this group in the draft and look positioned to add to this room, which they should. Javonte Williams averaged a poor 3.6 yards per carry last season and is entering the final year of his deal. Veteran Samaje Perine was primarily used in the passing game and while Jaleel McLaughlin is electric, his size will limit his role on offense. I hope they add some playmaking ability and speed to this unit. Tennessee’s Jaylen Wright appears to be a name to watch.
  • Wide Receiver: Courtland Sutton is once again in the midst of trade rumors after he skipped out on voluntary workouts, so we shall see if he is on the roster after the draft. After that, they have decent depth on the roster with Marvin Mims Jr. and veteran Josh Reynolds but they could still add to this room in the draft. A name to keep an eye on here would be Rice’s Luke McCaffrey on day three.
  • Tight End: The team re-signed Adam Trautman but with uncertainty surrounding Greg Dulcich and Lucas Krull’s inexperience, the Broncos could add a receiving threat in the draft. A name to watch here is Kansas State’s Ben Sinnott.
  • Offensive Line: The glaring need is at center but they could stick with Wattenberg and 2023 seventh-round pick Alex Forsyth. Outside of that, they have added veteran depth throughout the offseason but we still could see some depth added in the later rounds. If the Broncos...
