Post Draft Thoughts:
“The Broncos knew who they wanted all along at tackle, and with all of the chaos happening in front of them, had no issue getting their man. Bolles is a guy that was just a mess when a little younger, but has spent the last few years turning it all around. The draft fell very well for the Broncos, as Walker, Henderson, and Butt all fell to them at spots in the draft where value met need. Their other Henderson, De’Angelo, is a Maurice Jones-Drew type back that runs with authority, and will add power to their run game.”
2018 NFL Draft
The Broncos know they need to find their quarterback once and for all under John Elway – a young, big armed talend that they draft and develop. They really haven’t had superior QB play in years, and have had success with a play-action, controlled passing attack, but those days, and those coaches are long gone. Their offensive line has been a problem, and that has to be solved in tandem with finding their QB of the future. They definitely need a guard, and will keep an eye open for an upgrade at right tackle as well.
On defense, Denver has allowed a number of very good players hit free agency instead of overpaying, and they have needs along the defensive line in particular. Opposing tight ends are having a lot of success against the Broncos, and they need a linebacker or safety that can match up with both tight ends and running backs.
