With a dearth of proven backups beyond T.J. Ward and Darian Stewart, the Broncos have a need for depth and youth at safety.
They have options from their reserve cornerbacks to fill out the dime sub package in which David Bruton Jr. excelled last year. They could get Kayvon Webster, Lorenzo Doss or Taurean Nixon on the field as a sixth defensive back, while using Bradley Roby in the safety-type role he occasionally handled last year.
But with Stewart's contract expiring after this year and Ward halfway through his deal, the Broncos need to work on not only their short-term depth at safety, but potential long-term planning.
