Team Needs

Wide Receiver

The key for the Denver Broncos to start winning more games is getting quarterback Drew Lock more weapons. The Broncos traded away wide receiver during the year to the 49ers, which left Courtland Sutton responsible to carry the load and he did. Many of us thought that DaeSean Hamilton would step up when Sanders left, but he has been so inconsistent since his rookie season.

Cornerback

The Broncos traded for the former Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye, but due to free agency, they lost four-time Pro Bowler Chris Harris Jr. to a division team, the Chargers. The Broncos are concerned with Bryce Callahan‘s availability after his foot injury that kept him off the field for the entire 2019 season.

Interior Offensive Line

The Denver Broncos moved away from two starters this offseason, center Connor McGovern that signed with New York Jets and guard Ronald Leary is still a free agent but what it seems like the Broncos do not want him back. The Broncos gave center Graham Glasgow a four-year deal and also signed Elijiah Wilkinson that can be a versatile backup but the Denver Broncos need to protect their new franchise quarterback in Drew Lock.
