The Denver Broncos added nine players in the 2022 NFL Draft. How many of them could possibly take the starting job from one of the veterans on the team?

The Broncos are entering a season of change in 2022 with a new coaching staff and a new quarterback in place. Soon, the team should also be under new ownership.

It’s a clean slate in Denver and for a team looking to end a long playoff drought, many different avenues will be considered in order to reach success.

The Broncos have a good core of players in place but this new coaching staff is going to want to get a look at everyone as there will be several positions that they consider completely up for grabs as they won’t be married to anything the previous regime had in place.

Many of the picks the Broncos made in the recent draft were seen as players who will contribute down the road, but that won’t be the case for all of them. Several of these players have the ability to contribute right away and because of the way the depth chart currently shakes out, could have a chance to become major contributors this season.

So, which Broncos players should be looking over their shoulders? Here are three that may possibly need to.
