Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images The Denver Broncos have navigated a rather eventful offseason. Now that they are basically done and moving forward training camp, how confident are you in them this year? Now that we’ve gone through free agency and the draft, we can safely assume the Denver Broncos have made all of the significant offseason moves they can make to get better for the 2024 regular season. This week’s SB Nation reacts survey focuses on your general confidence in the direction of the franchise. Has it improved? Vote below and I’ll be back Friday or Saturday to share these results ..read more

Photo by Hyoung Chang/The Denver Post If you ask Dane Brugler, the Broncos got worse. He may not be wrong in the short term. Good morning, Broncos Country! According to Dane Brugler, unofficial draft guru for The Athletic, the Broncos actually got quite a bit worse after their seven draft picks and 14 UDFA selections — sliding to No. 31 on the power rankings chart. The interesting aspect of this ranking is to watch its evolution following the end of the 2023 season, where Denver almost eeked out a winning record but instead landed at 8-9 and No. 23 on the power rankings. At the time, Russell W ..read more

Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images The Denver Broncos quarterback carousel since Peyton Manning has begun to rival the Cleveland Browns in numbers or duration, but Broncos legend Chris Harris Jr. provided some hope with Bo Nix. When the Denver Broncos drafted Oregon quarterback Bo Nix with their 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the “experts” all felt they reached horribly. However, at the end of the day they got the quarterback they wanted and if they hadn’t taken him then he would have gone a few picks later anyway. Even more important is that Denver finally has their best shot at findin ..read more

Photo by RJ Sangosti/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images With the schedule out later this month, let’s see just what we are getting into here. Every year when the schedule comes out, I have the habit of myopically over-estimating the number of wins the Denver Broncos will notch in the upcoming season. Whether it’s my hopes for a great season or the Broncos finding new ways to disappoint, it seems, I am most always wrong. So, in the spirit of getting things off to an early start, here is my totally wrong and totally early record projection for 2024. First, let’s start with the AFC ..read more

Photo credit should read Javier Vicencio / Eyepix Group/Future Publishing via Getty Images When training camp arrives, Denver Broncos are most excited to see running back Blake Watson out of all their undrafted free agent signings. Yesterday, I covered how Denver Broncos fans generally believe the team came out a winner from the 2024 NFL Draft. In that same SB Nation Reacts survey, I also asked which Broncos undrafted free agents that fans are most excited to see in training camp this year. With 44% of the vote, Memphis running back Blake Watson led the way. Blake Watson was one of our top th ..read more

Photo by Don Juan Moore/Getty Images Denver Broncos fans loved the work head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton did with the team’s limited draft picks this year. In our weekly SB Nation Reacts survey we asked if you thought the Denver Broncos came out of the 2024 NFL Draft a winner and the response was overwhelmingly positive. 91% of you voted winner over loser despite the outside narrative being that the team reached to get Oregon quarterback Bo Nix with the 12th overall selection. There are so many caveats there, but the main one being that there were reports that Sean McVa ..read more

Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sports While not unanimous, there is certainly a segment of Denver Broncos fans more than ready for the Bo Nix era, but are these feelings coming from a source of logic or emotion? Let’s begin by saying that the opinion on new Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix, by both fans of the team and those on the outside, is divided. While some, like the NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, former Bronco Mark Schlereth, and legendary college coach Nick Saban, have been complimentary of the young QB, others, like draft expert Mel Kiper (and just about anyone in a similar role), have been critical of ..read more

Photo by Perry Knotts/Getty Images The Denver Broncos haven’t drafted an offensive tackle since Garett Bolles in 2017. Is this sustainable? I have written about this every year since 2020 IIRC, but here we are in 2024 with another completed NFL draft and the Denver Broncos STILL haven’t drafted an offensive tackle since Garett Bolles in 2017. Now before we get to deep into this let me give two caveats. Dalton Risner played some right tackle in college, but since he has never taken a snap at tackle in the NFL. He is NOT an offensive tackle. 2024 seventh round draft pick, Nick Garguilo, played ..read more

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images For all the talk about the Denver Broncos reaching, if they had played the trade back game then Bo Nix would be with the Los Angeles Rams in 2024. NFL Network’s Chad Reuter told Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey on Orange & Blue Today this week that if the Denver Broncos had played the trade back game in the 2024 NFL Draft then Oregon’s Bo Nix ‘absolutely’ would have gone No. 19 to the Los Angeles Rams at the latest. For all who think the Broncos could have traded down and still gotten Bo Nix … @chad_reuter of @NFLMedia says, “No,” that wouldn’t have worke ..read more

Photo by Candice Ward/Getty Images The national media hated the Denver Broncos draft class and think they are one of the worst teams in the NFL right now. The Denver Broncos certainly got better with their 2024 NFL Draft class, but the question is whether or not anyone believed they got better enough. As I write these words, I haven’t even looked at a single post-draft power rankings post yet. I wanted to give my predictions before going and pulling that info in at the bottom. First, pundit after pundit consistently pointed towards the Broncos “bad roster” when talking about how big of a reach ..read more
