Denver Broncos

Top Needs: TE, IOL, OT, DE, DT

The Denver Broncos are still trying to find their post-Super Bowl offensive rhythm again, which will be their key to returning to the postseason in a suddenly crowded AFC West. The simplest way to fix that is by addressing their 10th-worst Rushing Success Rate on the offensive line and a middling 18th-lowest Sack NEP allowed. Matt Paradis is locked in at the center position, but they need to improve their guards and tackles drastically.

Tight end has also been an issue, as this unit ranked 14th-worst by Reception NEP per target this season. Virgil Green was the best Denver tight end this year, accruing the sixth-least Reception NEP among the 43 tight ends with at least 30 targets.

The defensive line could use some fresh bodies to help defend the run; they were fifth-worst by Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play. Jared Crick and Sylvester Williams have not been able to replace Malik Jackson and Terrance Knighton plugging up the middle.
