breakdown by pos

QB year started off awful but Drew lock had a good last 5 starts if he progessive more should be a cutler type
RB/FB Lindrey is souild but he needs more help this broncos off needs to have 2/3 good RB for it to be good jano is perfect for this off
WR Sutton couild be the best WR in the NFL by 2022 he needs a young running mate Patrick and Hamilton are num 3 types
Te fant is a young jimmy graham should keep growing Beck cut form ne got better and betther esp when lock played
OL they were awful esp at OT OG/C IS not that bad but can't pass block Denver must get at least 2/3 new starters here
DL Fangio really worked his magic here getting nobody's like mike Purcell Demarcus walker to play well hopefully Denver can sign one of wolfe harris back Dremont jones IS A growing player
LB strong here with miller chubb and breakout star alexander Johnson plus good role guys like ilb j jewell m redd J Attougbuh J Hollins Denver is set here
CB Harris jr is unlikely to be back hopefully Bryce callian is healpy to play slot CB denver needs 2 CB'S 1 vet and 1 pick
S very good shape here Simmons and Jackson are the best S tadum in the NFL Marshall can be the 3rd S here Parks might be back for depth
K/PKRPR Mcmanas is up/down but $ from inside 50 yards waldlum is awful D Spener is one of the best return man u don't know about

overall
with 65 mil in space plus atother 15 mil easyey cut and with 5 top 100 picks Denver couild win 2-3 more games but the big jump couild be 2021 look at SF in their 3rd year of that off

likely the broncos are looking at 8-8 10-6 for the 2020 season as I feel Denver needs 1 more year before making a big move up

I wouild guess 9-7 6-2 at home losing to KC TENN and 3-5 on the road beating ATL CAR and JETS or pitt

A 4th for Bouye? I know his cap is 13m, but that seems like a steal. What am I missing?

Jags created $9m in cap space with the trade ($13m salary minus $4m in dead signing bonus), getting them up to about $31m total. Theory is that the Jags really need the flexibility to tag Ngakoue (with whatever form the tag takes).

Nice move for the Broncos, for sure. Bouye is signed for $13m each this and next season with no dead money if cut, which is a great leverage point for the team to explore a new deal.

Broncos agreed to terms with C Graham Glasgow, formerly of the Lions, on a four-year, $44 million contract.

Entering his age-28 season, Glasgow has experience at both center and guard. 2019 Broncos starters C Connor McGovern and RG Ronald Leary are free agents, but we'd expect Glasgow to take over at the center spot for McGovern at this point. Either way, offensive line was a huge need area for this team as it tries to protect Drew Lock headed into his sophomore campaign. Glasgow started 58 games over his first four seasons for the Lions after being selected No. 95 overall in 2016

Browns acquired FB Andy Janovich from the Broncos in exchange for a 2021 seventh-round pick.
Signed to a three-year, $5.7 million extension last October, Janovich became expendable in a matter of months since new OC Pat Shurmur's scheme typically disregards any need for a viable fullback. For reference, Vikings FB C.J. Ham was in on 35 percent of the team's offensive snaps under Kevin Stefanski last year, additionally seeing 26 targets as a threat in the flats. 27 in May, Janovich should be cleared for Cleveland's offseason workouts after battling through a torn pectoral and dislocated right elbow last season.
Jets signed C Connor McGovern, formerly of the Broncos, to a three-year, $27 million contract.
McGovern will get $18 million guaranteed as the Jets desperately try to address their below-average offensive line with other free agents landing elsewhere. Sam Darnold needs a better supporting cast to take another leap forward, and McGovern is an okay first step but more pieces are needed. McGovern started 31-of-32 possible games for the Broncos over the last two seasons.

Broncos are expected to sign Lions' Jeff Driscoll as their backup QB per source. He came up in Darius Slay-Chris Harris Jr. trade talks at deadline last year. Driscoll a great athlete, ran 4.56 -- fastest among QBs -- at Combine in 2016. #9sports mike kils worte that your tom e curran

Broncos signed QB Jeff Driskel, formerly of the Lions.

Driskel made three surprise starts in 2019 with Matthew Stafford (back) sidelined, and he apparently showcased enough upside to earn a contract with the Broncos. Driskel never looked comfortable as a passer but at least rushed for 50 yards per start. Expect him to compete for the backup job behind Drew Lock this offseason.

Broncos acquired DT Jurrell Casey from the Titans in exchange for a 2020 seventh-round pick.
30-year-old Casey remains under contract through 2022 but his guarantees expire after this season. The Broncos were knowingly in the market for an interior threat along their defensive line and the Titans likely didn't mind budging from Casey knowing Derrick Henry's extension is on the table. Denver's willingness to take on Casey's remaining $41.2 million over the next three years didn't hurt matters. While his play tailed off due to a nagging shoulder injury last year, Casey has quietly averaged a durable 806 snaps per season since 2012 and remains one of the league's most forceful run-stuffers going,

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Broncos signed free agent RB Melvin Gordon.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports it's a two-year, $16 million deal with $13.5 million guaranteed. The Broncos could certainly use an additional weapon or two on offense for second-year QB Drew Lock, but addressing the RB position is curious considering Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman were largely fine in 2019. MGIII is certainly the better pass-down RB from the group, although Lindsay (4.9 YPC) and Freeman (3.9) have had similar-to-better success over their careers on a per-rush basis compared to Gordon (4). This is a complete mess as far as fantasy is concerned, as a committee backfield is incredibly likely unless we see an additional move take place.

Broncos signed TE Nick Vannett, formerly of the Steelers, to a two-year contract.
Vannett will be nothing more than a depth option and run-blocking tight end behind last year's first-round pick Noah Fant. The 27-year-old has compiled 591 receiving yards through four NFL seasons.

Broncos signed P Sam Martin, formerly of the Lions, to a three-year, $7.1 million contract.

After being selected with a fifth-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, Martin has spent all seven of his years with the Lions, so he definitely has received his fair share of in-game reps. Martin was considered one of the top punters on the market.

Broncos re-signed DL Shelby Harris to a one-year, $2.5 million contract.

Coming off a career year, Harris committed in January to testing free agency, but he was greeted by a surprisingly cold market. Now the 28-year-old returns as a major bargain for the Broncos, though another $750,000 is available through incentives. A 16-game starter last season, Harris notched six sacks while performing well against the run. He's a strong presence along the Broncos' interior.

Broncos selected Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
He'll slot in as the offense's No. 2 WR behind Courtland Sutton. Jeudy (6’1/193) was a two-year starting receiver at Alabama with exceptional route running that allowed him to win at all depths of the field. Despite facing top-notch competition in the SEC, Jeudy separated from teammates Henry Ruggs and DeVonta Smith in averaging at least 86 yards per game in back-to-back years in his age-19 and 20 seasons. He also led the FBS in 15-plus yard receptions in that span. Hands down the most polished route runner in the class, Jeudy's pedestrian 38th-percentile Adjusted SPARQ was one of Combine's biggest surprises. To win on the outside in the NFL, he’ll need to get stronger, but he otherwise projects as a go-to WR1 who can also thrive in the slot. Jeudy has been compared to Calvin Ridley and Stefon Diggs.

Broncos selected Penn State WR K.J. Hamler with the No. 46 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Hamler (5’9/178) is an unpolished and undersized playmaker with the potential to be a downfield mismatch as a young (21 in July) rookie. He compiled a 56-904-8 receiving line during his age-20 campaign last season while operating as Penn State’s big-play weapon. A hamstring injury prevented him from competing at the NFL Combine, where he undoubtedly would have timed in the 4.3s. On tape, Hamler won from the slot and out wide as a lid lifter and manufactured-touch weapon similar to Curtis Samuel or Ted Ginn. Hamler's size limits him in traffic, but his biggest college issue was his hands. He tied for the most drops (12) in the Power 5 per PFF. If that gets cleaned up, Hamler should eventually earn a WR2 role with some development. The Broncos are surrounding big-play QB Drew Lock with chunk-play potential.

Broncos selected CB Michael Ojemudia with the No. 77 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Ojemedia (6'1/202) made 22 starts across 51 games with the Hawkeyes, playing exclusively at right corner in Iowa's Cover 2 scheme with only 115 career snaps in man-to-man coverage sprinkled in. He allowed just 5.0 yards per target as a redshirt junior and senior but still projects as a reserve corner (or safety) in the NFL given the simplicity of his role at the collegiate level. Ojemedia has the speed (4.45 40-time), size, and length (32 1/4") of a successful press corner but will need to land with the right fit to excel on his rookie deal.

Ojemedia has the speed (4.45 40-time), size, and length (32 1/4") of a successful press corner but may be asked to start in the slot if Bryce Callahan isn't healthy in time for camp. There's fortunately a vacancy with the Broncos for Ojemudia to start immediately in his rookie year.

Broncos selected LSU C Lloyd Cushenberry with the No. 83 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Cushenberry (6’3/312) was a team captain and two-year starting center at LSU who earned second-team All-American honors and was named the Tigers’ MVP as a redshirt junior. He checks boxes physically in terms of both size and athleticism. At the NFL Combine, he showcased 61st-percentile Adjusted SPARQ athleticism and was a physical run-blocker on tape. The offense also put him in more one-on-one pass-blocking situations than most interior linemen because they were comfortable with his combination of strength, balance, and awareness. Cushenberry safely projects as an interior starter at center for the Broncos after Connor McGovern left for the Jets. This allows the Broncos to slot free-agent pickup Graham Glasgow in at guard.

Broncos selected Arkansas DL McTelvin Agim with the No. 95 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Agim (6’3/309) was a five-star recruit and four-year starter at Arkansas who added weight and rotated inside as a senior. He never fully lived up to his recruiting rank, but he at least posted two-straight 5.0-sack seasons and tested in the 88th percentile at the NFL Combine. His motor and athleticism are traits to bet on, but he’s far from a finished product, particularly against the run where he loses leverage by standing too tall. While not a sound technician, Agim does have the athletic traits to be a pass-rushing factor in an NFL rotation with time.


BTW Razorback fan here at best he is a rotational guy silmer to mike pucrell

Mind blowing fact that may only be interesting to me: the only QB that the Broncos have drafted who has won a playoff game for them is... Tim Tebow.

speaking of tebow watching the 2009 and 10 broncos on gamepass in case MCD gets a crack again if MCD did not o'brien that 2009 nfl draft denver was sit up for a deep run in the 2010's those 3 2nd round duds was killer had denver went Jared Cook TE sean smith Utah and jairus byrd Oregon it wouild had improved denver to 10-6 in 2009 then they take a step back to like 7-9 in 2010 but maybe denver gets OT Nate solder in 2011 and denver goes 9-7 or so in 2011 manning goes to tenn denver crashes in 12 then elway comes in 13 and build around LB K Mack and QB D Carr

i might be too upbeat about new Orleans and the changes game but i feel denver made improvements that Covid-19 might suan the grown of there off unill 2021 but if KJ Hampler can be a az-hakim type denver off couild be scary late in the season but i am worred about the OT spot
