A look at some of the best players available on Day 2 … and a glance at the picks around the AFC West from the first round.

Who SHOULD George Paton hire as the Broncos' next head coach?

Kellen Moore?

Dan Quinn?

Nathaniel Hackett?

Eric Bieniemy?

With no shot at the playoffs, and a fifth-straight losing season guaranteed, it's a matter of what, not if, changes will be made following Saturday's game.

Will George Paton move on from the entire coaching staff or just parts of it?

In a way, the Broncos’ 34-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers was their bottle episode.

In 2019, the Broncos were "living in a world of suck," as Emmanuel Sanders famously stated, later revealing that was Vic Fangio's message to the team. Two years later, they're still in that same world. It sucks.

With playoffs no longer a real option and staring down a third-straight losing season, is there anything Vic Fangio can do down the stretch to ensure he returns in 2022?

They always say, "Next man up." But what happens when you run out of next men? The Broncos might be at that point if their COVID-19 woes get any worse.

What is likely to be Drew Lock’s second start of the season and the 20th of a star-crossed three seasons in Denver offers a chance for him to test his progress against a Los Angeles Chargers defense that has struggled against the pass and seen its issues multiply in recent weeks.

With only a five percent shot at making the playoffs, should George Paton and Vic Fangio approach the final three games any differently?

The Denver Broncos no longer control their own destiny.

But they've still got a shot at the playoffs. But they need help.

Here's what Denver needs and who to root for this weekend for the Broncos' playoff dreams to stay alive.

Which of the next three games is the most difficult for the Broncos?

Week 15 — vs 7-6 Bengals
Week 16 — @ 6-7 Raiders
Week 17 — @ 8-6 Chargers

@ZacStevensDNVR, @RyanKoenigsberg and @MaseDenver debate & give their picks for the weekend!

Mathematically, Sunday's Broncos game against the Bengals isn't a must-win.

But for all practical purposes it is.

Here's what's on the line, who to cheer for this weekend along with the Broncos and where Denver stands in the playoff picture.

Will the Broncos be able to make a push for the playoffs or is last week a preview of what's to come?

The Broncos missed a massive opportunity to take the lead in the AFC West last Sunday when they fell to the Chiefs in Kansas City.

However, their playoff hopes are far from over.

Here's everything you need to know about Denver's path to the playoffs.

After Sunday night’s loss, it feels like the world is falling and the Broncos season is over.

It’s not.

But the playoffs are starting a month early for the Broncos.

First place in the AFC West is up for grabs on Sunday Night.

Who do they Broncos need to step up the most to FINALLY beat the Chiefs?

It's December and the Broncos are playing meaningful football.

So rightfully so, it's time to talk about playoffs.

Here’s everything you need to know about where the Broncos stand, what to cheer for this weekend and their current playoff odds.

The 30 snaps Bradley Chubb received last Sunday were momentous only in what they meant: a step back towards full-tilt work, just when the Broncos need it most with the days growing shorter and a potential push for the playoffs looming.

The Broncos dominated the Chargers on Sunday.

But injuries appeared to continue to dominate Denver.

However, on Monday, the news along the injury front wasn't nearly as daunting as it appeared Sunday night.
