Broncos stock report: Which way the arrow's pointing for bubble guys

Entering the summer, the Denver Broncos had concerns with depth at multiple positions, and with a younger roster, the team needs players to step up.

So far there have been multiple players that have elevated their game and, for the most part, are sustaining their play at a high level. Not all of these players may make the roster, but with three preseason games left, they're making a push for it.

Those players that are poised to make the roster, stepping up their game just improves the depth for the Broncos, which was needed.

DeMarcus Walker, DE

Walker started off camp slow, but it quickly turned around. Each practice he seems to get better and better and things are finally clicking for him. In the Hall of Fame Game, Walker had a solid performance but he was unable to build upon that performance against the Seahawks in Game 2. There is a lot to lean on with his practice reps, but these last three games need to see more consistency from him.

Dymonte Thomas, S

The young safety has stepped up multiple times when they needed him. However, there are consistency concerns that need to be fixed. So far, he has taken steps to ease those concerns. He has had two solid games and is looking good in practice so far. Thomas won’t have a huge role on defense, but seeing him step up his game provides the Broncos with options for after this season.

Su’a Cravens, S

This one is a bit of a shock. The talent was always there with Cravens, but he just couldn’t get out of his own way, or have the medical staff in Washington get out of his way. What stands out the most is how much quicker he looks, which is likely due to dropping weight from 220-plus pounds to under 210. His read-and-react process has been cleaner and with smoother movements.

Trinity Benson, WR

The rookie receiver has the speed to stretch the field, and he has had multiple chances to show it off. His impact in games has been minimal, but he has still shown the speed he has. In practices, he has gotten rave reviews from players on defense who have had a hard time defending against him. Denver has five receivers set to make the roster, but Benson is pushing for the sixth. Seeing him get some work as a returner could help him get that spot.

Nick Williams, WR

Another receiver who has been impressive so far. Williams was a late get for the roster, but he does a good job of finding the soft spot in zone coverages. He doesn’t have the speed of other receivers, but he is quick and savvy with his routes. Unlike Benson, Williams has gotten a shot as a returner and, while he wasn’t a major threat, he was reliable.

Horace Richardson, CB

The young corner emerged in the Hall of Fame Game, and built upon that with a strong game against Seattle. He didn’t make plays like he did in the previous game, but he was strong in coverage and took his receiver out of the play. There is a chance the Broncos keep an extra corner, and right now it is Richardson's job to lose.

Jake Rodgers, OL

An uninspiring HoFG was a bummer for Rodgers who has had a solid training game, he really stood out against Seattle. The Broncos depth on the offensive line is really weak, but Rodgers was one of the few who played really well. His practice reps have gotten better and he seems to be getting better every day.

John Leglue, OL

Another player who has been having a solid camp, according to a few sources. It hasn’t been perfect and he has had some rough spots, but the action he has seen in games have been solid. His best action came at right guard against Seattle. It’s unlikely he makes the roster, but he is pushing for it and looking like he will land on the practice squad at least.

Alexander Johnson, ILB

Johnson looks like a completely different player from a year ago. There is still a ways to go in his development, but he has been getting better every day. His read-and-react is much quicker, and he moves a lot smoother than he did a year ago. Linebacker is an open race for the backup spots, but Johnson has looked good enough to hold one of them.

Devontae Booker, RB

Booker was having a solid camp and looked solid against the Falcons, but the Broncos went and signed Theo Riddick, who has since gotten hurt. Against Seattle, Booker again was solid, and his practices have been getting better. With the injury to Riddick, Booker is looking like he will make the roster, and his play is climbing upwards. \
