Denver Broncos: Analyzing the 53-man roster and needs

CORNERBACK

Made Roster: Chris Harris Jr., Aqib Talib, Bradley Roby, Kayvon Webster, Lorenzo Doss

The Broncos battled rumors on Saturday that Aqib Talib was on the trade block, rumors that John Elway squashed…

“False. His name was never brought up anywhere.”

Elway also expressed displeasure at the thought of Talib being suspended to start the season, another false rumor…

“We’ve heard nothing. We’re full speed ahead. It would be very disappointing if we heard something at this point in time.”

Distractions aside, this is the most solid group of players the Broncos have on the roster from top to bottom. Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib are a phenomenal duo, but the inclusion of Bradley Roby as the team’s third corner make this group absolutely unfair.

Kayvon Webster has come into his own as a special teams ace, and feels like he has what it takes to be a starter in this league. Lorenzo Doss had an incredible training camp and then laid an egg in the team’s preseason finale against Arizona.

This is a group that the Broncos have to be incredibly confident about.
