Who emerges as the third CB?

We talked at length about the cornerback position as a whole and looked at each player individually in this post.

We also discussed in this podcast what the Broncos are trying to replace with the loss of Aqib Talib.

It was nice for four years to not have to worry about the cornerback position. That was a luxury the Broncos no longer have, at least in terms of proven talent.

Tramaine Brock is the favorite to lead the team in snaps at the cornerback position behind Chris Harris Jr. and Bradley Roby, but the Broncos have some talented young players they picked high in the NFL Draft in 2017 third-round pick Brendan Langley and 2018 third-round pick Isaac Yiadom.

How will the coaches split reps here? How will the presence of a coach specifically for cornerbacks affect things?

The Broncos need someone or multiple guys that can help create turnovers at the cornerback position. Hopefully, training camp will reveal those playmakers.
