The Broncos will need to shore up their defensive line this offseason

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Broncos defensive line could be in flux this season with several unrestricted free agents and salary cap decisions on their plate with this position group.

Joe Rowles, Scotty Payne, and I are back at it again today to wrap up the discussion on the defensive side of the ball. Beginning tomorrow, we’ll start reviewing the offensive side of things. Today, we’re talking about the interior of the Denver Broncos defensive line.

These prospects are intriguing fits for the Broncos’ scheme.

George Paton is the new general manager and brings with him a new approach to team building. The Broncos new boss could mean a change in positional value as well as a more trades on draft day. So long as we assume he’s building for the Broncos current defensive system it isn’t hard to identify a few prospects who look like clean fits. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Vic...

2021 Senior Bowl: How to watch, live stream, and draft prospects

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

The 2021 Senior Bowl is set to go forward this weekend. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming Senior Bowl.

The Senior Bowl is an important showcase for draft-eligible college players to compete in front of NFL scouts and coaches each year. For the Denver Broncos, it has been a vital source for Day 2 and 3 picks over the last decade. Even though they have a new front office head in General Manager George Paton, I would still expect Denver to...

What should the Broncos do with Von Miller this year?

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Broncos have to make a decision with Von Miller, but it might be wise to hold off on that decision until 2022.

In our most contentious debate yet, Scotty Payne, Joe Rowles, and myself discuss the edge rusher situation for the Denver Broncos heading into the 2021 league year. The contention and disagreement mostly surrounded the future of Von Miller. Not so much his future after 2021, just what we each thought the team should do with him now.

Could the 2021 Broncos chase the playoffs with Matthew Stafford?

How will the roster look if the Broncos trade for Matthew Stafford?

Last week I took a look at what the Broncos could do to build a Super Bowl caliber roster after making a historic trade for Deshaun Watson. More than once I saw some blanch at the cost, to which I asked “what looks like a reasonable offer for an elite 25-year old QB?”

While I wait to find out the answer it looks like other potential...

Sources: Chargers to hire Broncos' Hill as DC

The Los Angeles Chargers are hiring Denver Broncos defensive backs coach Renaldo Hill to be their defensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Could there be a worse matchup for Broncos fans?

Last night, as I was trying to fall asleep, it was hard to keep depression at bay. Yet another Super Bowl featuring Tom Brady. Outside of a small pocket of folks in Florida and the whole of New England, absolutely nobody wants to hear the same boring Super Bowl storylines about a quarterback that’s haunted the post-season for the last 20 years.

Oh, but now he gets to be part of the first...

AFC Championship Game: Bills at Chiefs - Live updates

Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports

The AFC Championship Game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs is set to begin today at 4:40 PM Mountain Standard Time.

Another great matchup today in the AFC Championship Game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. If the NFC game featured two surefire Hall of Famers then this game features two young quarterbacks well on their way to Hall of Fame type careers.

As a Denver Broncos fan, I’ll be rooting hard for Josh Allen...

NFC Championship Game: Buccaneers at Packers - Live updates

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel-USA TODAY NETWORK

The NFC Championship Game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers is set to begin today at 1:05 PM Mountain Standard Time.

What a great matchup in the NFC today. Likely 2020 MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will host the “I’m always playing in conference title games” Tom Brady and his new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There’s nothing like a title game when you have two surefire Hall of Fame...

Priority No. 1 for George Paton and the Broncos? Re-sign Justin Simmons and Shelby Harris

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

Whatever path Paton and the Broncos choose to take in 2021, it needs to start by bringing both players back.

We’re in that time of year when we all play general manager.

Now that the Denver Broncos have a new one in George Paton, it’s a little more fun. I may suck at math, but I’m able to use a calculator and try to work the salary cap.

I have no idea what moves Paton will make in NFL free agency in his first offseason a...

How do the Broncos become a Super Bowl contender?

Elementary, my dear Deshaun Watson.

If there is even a snowball’s chance in Hades that Deshaun Watson is available in a trade, the Broncos need to make a call. There’s no guarantee that’s the case, of course. The Houston Texans may deem it necessary to acquire a quarterback or the premium picks necessary to draft one. Deshaun Watson may look at the Broncos’ ownership, front office, and coaching situation and deem it an undesirable locale.

Atwater: Drew Lock’s ceiling depends on him

The Hall of Fame safety is putting the onus for improvement where it belongs...on Drew Lock himself.

Discussing Drew Lock the same way he played safety, Steve Atwater will not waste your time but will hit you with the truth.

And that is that among everyone’s questions about whether Pat Shurmur’s playbook or Mike Shula’s coaching or Jordan Palmer’s Josh Allen offseason magic can be the difference in Lock becoming a franchise quarterback, the onus...

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

In Daniel Jeremiah’s first mock of 2021, he moves 11 offensive players in the first 13 picks. However, the Denver Broncos are one of the two to take a defensive player.

Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com released his first NFL Mock Draft of 2021. He went quarterback with three of the first four picks and four total quarterbacks went off the board before the Denver Broncos made their selection at ninth overall.
