Elway drafted (apparently) through the lens of him being a QB and what would he want. So, I'm not going to fault it at this point. Especially since Cushenberry still fell their way.

I feared them losing out on an OT and a starting C and for whatever reasons, Cush was destined to stick around until they pulled the trigger and I'm very happy about that selection.

I think if Wirfs had made it to 15, that was their pick and they were hoping Hamler would be there, so they decided to go with the WR duo and see what happens with OT/C.

Again, Denver had a number of holes to fill and I think they had a pretty good draft.

Lock, Sutton, Lindsay/Gordon, Fant, Jeudy, Hamler/Hamilton/Albert O... those are some nice weapons.

Their OL will be better than last year and they didn't look as bad when Lock started playing. That's not to say it's fixed, Bolles is still a liability. But again, you can't fix it all in one draft or offseason.

I like their DL, secondary and linebackers - the defense should be at worst just as good as they finished and at best, improved - esp when you consider Chubb missed most of 2019.

They have a young nucleus with a lot of great upside, should easily contend for the 2nd place spot in the division and be a possible WC entry.

That's all I'm looking for in 2020... consistent improvement, score 7 more points a game on offense and be aggressive.

The thing about Denver trying to get into a shootout with KC and draft to replicate their offense.

Lock < Mahomes
Fant < Kelce
Jeudy < Cheetah
Sutton < Watkins
Hamler < Hardman

Not a great formula for the Broncos. There will be some entertaining games in the next few years for sure though.
