Broncos' offensive depth chart going into offseason program

Just like that, offseason workouts have arrived.

The Denver Broncos are set to begin their spring training today, but it should be noted that the first month will be limited to strength training and conditioning. Denver's not scheduled to hit the field for organized team activities (OTAs) begin in early June. While we wait for the on-field action to kick off, we've put together a quick offensive depth chart projection going into the spring.

Note that this is a projection, not an official depth chart from the club. The Broncos are not required to release an official depth chart until preseason begins this summer (and they still call that an "unofficial" depth chart).

Broncos offense depth chart

Quarterback (3)

• QB1: Bo Nix

• QB2: Jarrett Stidham OR Sam Ehlinger

Stidham and Ehlinger are set to battle for the backup QB job this summer, and Nix (ankle) might not be ready to practice before training camp, creating more reps for Stidham and Ehlinger this spring.

Running back (7)

• RB1: J.K. Dobbins

• RB2: RJ Harvey

• RB3: Jonah Coleman

• RB4: Tyler Badie

• Depth: Jaleel McLaughlin, Cody Schrader, Deuce Vaughn

Coleman's arrival is particularly bad news for Tyler Badie, who served as the team's primary passing-down back last season. Coleman is an upgrade over Badie as a runner and as a receiver, and he's also a skilled pass blocker, which was Badie's main role in 2025.

Wide receiver (12)

• X WR: Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant

• Z WR: Jaylen Waddle, Troy Franklin

• Slot: Marvin Mims, Michael Bandy

• Depth: Lil'Jordan Humphrey

• UDFAs: Cam Ross, Kolbe Katsis, Dane Key, Sean Brown, Joseph Manjack

Waddle figures to immediately take on a large workload, but Sutton remains the "X" receiver in Denver. It will be interesting to see how involved Mims will be as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.

Tight end (7)

• TE1: Evan Engram

• TE2: Adam Trautman

• TE3: Justin Joly

• TE4: Nate Adkins

• Depth: Dallen Bentley, Lucas Krull, Caleb Lohner

Adkins is well-regarded in Denver, so he probably has a good chance to make the active roster again in 2026. Last year, the Broncos carried four tight ends on their initial 53-man roster. If that's the plan again this season, Adkins, Bentley, Krull and Lohner are set to have a fierce battle for one roster spot this summer.

Offensive line (17)

• LT: Garett Bolles, Frank Crum

• LG: Ben Powers, Kage Casey, Nick Gargiulo

• C: Luke Wattenberg, Alex Forsyth, Michael Deiter

• RG: Quinn Meinerz, Calvin Throckmorton, Matt Peart

• RT: Mike McGlinchey, Alex Palczewski

• Depth: Marques Cox, Tyler Miller, Gavin Ortega, Nash Jones

Several linemen will be backups at multiple positions, such as Palczewski and Casey providing cover at both tackle and guard. Throckmorton and Peart will be key veteran swing backups to watch this summer as younger linemen push for their spots.

The new arrivals will get their first opportunities to impress when the Broncos hold a rookie minicamp from May 8-10. After that, the next big events on Denver's offseason calendar will be OTAs (June 2-4; June 9-11) and mandatory minicamp (June 16-18). Players will then have a summer break until training camp, which usually begins in late July.
