Finding Broncos: Five Safeties to Reinforce Depth
The Denver Broncos were spenders during the first wave of Free Agency, but they still need help at a few spots. One of them is at the safety position, where they need someone who can potentially start next to Justin Simmons but, at the very least, provide competition for Caden Sterns. There has been promise shown from Sterns, but he has played 585 snaps on defense over his two seasons in the NFL, and unfortunately, there hasn't been enough to hand him the starting job.

Ja'Von Hicks | S | Cincinnati
Chamarri Conner | S | Virginia Tech
Jason Taylor II | S | Oklahoma State
There are some options at safety that can provide depth at the position and even compete for a starting job. However, with these five options, the starting job would still likely go to Caden Sterns, as these prospects will need time to adjust to the NFL and are better suited for a third safety spot and special teams player.
