After the Denver Broncos traded up in the second round of the NFL draft to select Marvin Mims last week, we have a new wide receiver depth chart projection.

Barring a trade, Patrick, Jeudy, Sutton and Mims all seem to be locks. Callaway, Virgil, Hinton and Johnson also seemingly have strong odds to make the team, but Denver will run out of roster spots.

Last year, the Broncos carried six wide receivers on their initial 53-man roster. If they do that again in 2023, Callaway, Virgil, Hinton and Johnson could all be competing for the final two spots.

Right now, Hamler and Washington seem to be in danger of not making the team following the arrival of Mims, a speedy deep threat who provides a spark as a returner. Humphrey and undrafted free agents Grimes and Daniels will also face long odds to make the active roster.

A lot can change between now and the end of training camp, and the possibility of a WR trade will linger given that Denver has so much depth at the position. For now, though, the above depth chart breaks down how we see the Broncos’ current WR room.
