It's still easy to predict the top of Denver's cornerback depth chart, but the backup roles are getting tough to project.
Pat Surtain, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, will continue to start on the outside as the team's CB1. Riley Moss is still the early favorite to play across from PS2, but it remains to be seen if rookie Jahdae Barron will play primarily in the slot or outside. If Barron ends up outside, Moss could move to the slot.
Ja'Quan McMillian, the team's previous slot cornerback, now becomes a very valuable depth/rotational player. Kris Abrams-Draine proved last season that he is a capable reserve option as well.
Beyond those top five is a toss-up. Damarri Mathis is the most experienced, but the Broncos could save $3.4 million if he's cut this summer. Goodrich will also be competing with Quinton Newsome and Reese Taylor , plus undrafted rookies Jaden Robinson and Joshua Pickett.
