Denver Broncos release first depth chart of 2018

The Denver Broncos have released their first official depth chart of the 2018 regular season. There are some big surprises here, but a lot of this will likely change leading up to Week 1.

The biggest surprise came from how many players are listed ahead of Isaiah McKenzie on the wide receiver depth chart, but somehow McKenzie remains the teams top punter returner for now.

Also of interest is Shelby Harris at nose tackle and Shane Ray being surpassed by Bradley Chubb at the edge rush position.
