My point is to get discussion steered in a better direction than what tends to be the usual cries about the process.

Open Thread: Broncos Initial Depth Chart

Here is the initial Broncos depth chart, per Cameron Wolfe. I will update this as I am able to, but feel free to discuss the depth chart.

Bear in mind that this is, by no means, finalized. There are four preseason games in which certain players have a chance to impress and nail down roster spots.
