Cornerback

Current projected starters: Chris Harris Jr., Bradley Roby

Potential starter options in-house: Tramaine Brock

Developmental options: Brendan Langley, Marcus Rios, Michael Hunter

After trading Aqib Talib to the Los Angeles Rams and signing Tramaine Brock, it’s apparent the cornerback position is one the Broncos could address early in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Brock was signed to a one-year ‘prove it’ type of contract, similar to the one Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie once signed with the Broncos.

The Broncos are promoting Bradley Roby to a full-time starter role, but with just the fifth-year option left on his contract and a few unproven guys like Brendan Langley, Marcus Rios, and Michael Hunter as backups, it wouldn’t shock me to see the Broncos draft a corner and perhaps sign another in free agency to shore up their depth here.
