Denver Broncos could have most impactful rookie class

Could the Denver Broncos have the most impactful rookie class in the NFL? With the number of players they need to replace, it’s not out of the question…

It’s no secret that the Denver Broncos have a lot of talent to replace this season after the mass exodus out of town following their Super Bowl 50 championship. Because of that fact, the Broncos are in line to potentially have one of the most impactful rookie classes in the entire NFL, and it all starts with their first round pick, quarterback Paxton Lynch.

Even beyond Lynch, however, the Broncos have to replace a number of talented players on this team, particularly Malik Jackson on the defensive line. Jackson’s departure paved the way for the drafting of Adam Gotsis out of Georgia Tech. Gotsis, an Australian-born football player, was a draft favorite of Broncos defensive line coach Bill Kollar.

That’s really all I need to know about the guy…

As we continue to assess the Broncos’ roster position by position, I thought it would be fun to take a look at this rookie class (primarily the draft class, not necessarily undrafted players at this time) and make some bold claims about what their impact could be.

Of course, there’s always going to be room for rookies to make impacts when other guys get injured, but this Broncos class might have to find a way to step up early out of necessity. Let’s take a more in-depth look at what could be the most impactful rookie class in the league.
