04. Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos have a defensive MVP candidate in Von Miller. They had one of the best rookie classes in the NFL in 2018 with Pro Bowl running back Phillip Lindsay and stud defensive end Bradley Chubb.

The Broncos also have a lot of pieces sprinkled around the roster and some key veterans in place for a coach to turn this team around.

The question is, will Case Keenum be the team’s quarterback going forward? Will the new coach have a say in the new quarterback that comes in?

The Broncos have a solid amount of cap space, some moveable contracts, and the 10th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. They have some star power defensively but they need to add pieces and creativity to an offense that hasn’t been able to get things going since Peyton Manning was in Denver.

This is a pressure-packed job, and while John Elway won’t admit to it, the new coach is likely going to get the privilege of patience, which Vance Joseph was not afforded.
