The Broncos actually have quite a few intriguing young players at cornerback.

  • Isaac Yiadom
  • De’Vante Bausby
  • Duke Dawson
  • Davontae Harris

Not to mention they are hoping Bryce Callahan can return to full strength in 2020.

Even with Chris Harris Jr. potentially leaving, I think we’ll see the Broncos seek out a cornerback in free agency with the draft as a secondary option, and a player like Holmes could actually be a really nice value for them.

Not only has he shown tremendous ball skills, he’s also shown he can be a return specialist. His athleticism and abilities in man coverage scream nickel at the next level.
