By Jake Schwanitz January 26, 2021

After another disappointing and painful season, for the third time in four years, the Broncos find themselves with a top-10 pick for the upcoming NFL Draft.

How to win while paying a franchise QB?

The wait is over. The NFL returns this week and with the start of the new season, the league has two new faces sitting at the top as the league’s highest-paid players. Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans agreed to a four-year extension worth $160 million tying him to Houston through 2025. While Patrick Mahomes broke the internet on July…...

Broncos Film Room: How Mark Barron fits in Denver

Earlier this week, the Denver Broncos signed Mark Barron to beef up their linebacking corps. With Todd Davis battling a lingering calf injury and 2020 fifth-round pick Justin Strnad out for the season due to wrist surgery, the Broncos needed to make a move. Barron was the seventh-overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft and initially entered the league as…...

Broncos Film Room: Noah Fant and the modern day tight end

A few weeks ago on Broncos Film Room, we went back to 2017 and put Stefon Diggs under the microscope with the goal of learning how Jerry Jeudy fits in Pat Shurmur’s offense. This week we turn our eyes to the Meadowlands to follow Shurmur and Evan Engram from 2018-2019 to project Noah Fant’s future outlook and utility in Denver’s…...

Broncos Film Room: Is Justin Simmons an elite safety?

Entering the final season of his rookie contract, Justin Simmons timed his breakout season perfectly. The first three years of his career showed real promise as Simmons flashed natural athleticism and a tendency for making big plays. It all came together in 2019 for Simmons as he was able to put up career numbers in interceptions (four) and passes defended…...

Broncos Film Room: Why Stefon Diggs is important to Jerry Jeudy

Jerry Jeudy and Pat Shurmur making their way to the Mile High City in 2020 is not a coincidence. Both were brought in to help revive an offense that has been lifeless since 2015. Even though Shurmur’s second attempt at leading an NFL team was disappointing, he remains one of the more simple yet forward-thinking and adaptable offensive coordinators in…...

Breaking down the Broncos’ options at cornerback in the 2020 NFL Draft

If any city knows what a dominant secondary can do for a defense it’s Denver. Chris Harris Jr. has departed and the “No-Fly Zone” is nothing but a memory. Rebuilding the secondary now becomes a priority on the defensive side of the ball. The 2020 NFL Draft features a solid group of cornerbacks with some Day Two players that could…...

Breaking down the Broncos’ options at wide receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft

The 2020 NFL Draft features one of the deepest receiving groups the league has ever seen. Coincidentally, the Denver Broncos enter the 2020 Draft with one of the weakest wide receiving corps in the NFL. Drew Lock showed promise as a rookie partially due to Courtland Sutton developing into one of the league’s best young receivers but the lack of…...
