As we continue our 2020 depth chart prediction series for the Denver Broncos, today we’re going to be looking at the defensive line.
Previously, we predicted the QB, RB, TE, WR and OL depth charts.
| DE | NT | DE |
| Shelby Harris | Mike Purcell | Jurrell Casey |
| Dre’Mont Jones | McTelvin Agim | DeMarcus Walker |
| Joel Heath | Kyle Peko | Christian Covington |
| Jonathan Harris |
It’s pretty easy to predict the Broncos’ starting lineup. Harris and Purcell will likely keep their starting spots and Casey will presumably fill the role previously held by Derek Wolfe. It’s the backup spots that are undetermined.
Jones and Walker figure to serve as important rotational pieces and Agim is essentially a lock to make the team after being selected in the third round of April’s draft.
Last year, Denver carried six defensive linemen on the initial 53-man roster. If that’s the case again in 2020, Covington and Heath might only make the team if one of the team’s top six defensive linemen suffers an injury this summer. Peko and Harris figure to be longshots as well.
