Even from children, Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick couldn't avoid The Question.

One could not stifle a groan after seeing the first pass play of the initial team period of the Broncos' 2021 organized team activities.

There are myriad consequences to having questions at quarterback. The least of these is the types of questions -- and responses -- that take place in press conferences.

Teddy Bridgewater and Jerry Jeudy have only worked together for four practices. But you wouldn't have known it by the way they meshed Tuesday when the Broncos began the second week of Phase 3 of their 2021 organized team activities.

"Until we get to at least practicing 11-on-11, you need to withhold much judgment," Broncos coach Vic Fangio said of the QB competition. But that doesn't mean there wasn't plenty to take from the team's first Phase 3 OTA of 2021.

The Broncos have a plan. They'll stick with it unless and until circumstances dictate otherwise.

Last year, the Broncos took advantage of an excellent WR class in the draft.

With another loaded class of pass catchers on deck for the 2021 draft, will Denver look to capitalize on the position again?

The outlook for Von Miller, Justin Simmons, Shelby Harris and the Broncos' restricted free agents were among myriad topics touched on by the Broncos' top football brass March 4.

The Broncos' decisions on what tenders to use on their restricted free agents need to be submitted before the start of the new league year on Mar. 17.

Here are the Broncos' six RFAs and the decisions that need to be made.

In a season of instability and inconsistency, the steadiest part of the Broncos' offense has been Tim Patrick.

Vic Fangio was aggressive for most of Sunday night. But in the final six minutes, he strayed from that. In retrospect, he admitted he probably shouldn't have.

On Sunday, after throwing his fifth interception in the past five quarters, Drew Lock looked adversity in the face and quarterbacked the Broncos to an upset victory.

“We can’t start drives with negative plays. That’s first and that’s the biggest thing,” wide receiver Tim Patrick said.

Without Courtland Sutton, the Broncos are about as inexperienced as a receiving corps can be. But Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler have already taken a big role in the offense. Now they're in a prime position to take off.

With an off day in sight, the Broncos brought the heat on Tuesday. But one side of the ball won the day.

Vic Fangio began Friday's practice by bringing his team together in a huddle. After a minute of Fangio addressing his team, players started to hoot and holler and get hyped for whatever message the coach was delivering.

The defense took that shot of energy and ran with it to start practice. The offense, however, didn't pick up on it one bit as they came out flat, sluggish and out of tune. The energy started to hit the offense as the practice went on.

There is little doubt that K.J. Hamler will eventually take his place among the Broncos' top three receivers. But expect Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton to put up a fight.

On paper, he did just that by signing a Pro-Bowl running back, drafting an All-American receiver and selecting one of the fastest wideouts in the draft. With all of the new additions, including key pickups on the offensive line, the Broncos will have many new faces in the starting lineup.

Drew Lock is the big box, but there are some others who might help the Broncos for the long term.
