7. Siemian/Lynch/Davis

This is the worst quarterback situation any defending Super Bowl champion has endured since the last time the Broncos retired an all-time great and started a late round draft pick in his place. Man, Colorado sports are going HAM on the 90’s reboots.

If Trevor Siemian is 75% Alex Smith, then we can consider that a win – but quarterbacks like that always leave infinitely more plays on the field than they make.

Paxton Lynch is the future, and the future may come sooner than anyone thought considering Austin Davis is the only quarterback on the roster with an NFL throw; but Lynch is still far too raw to toss out to the lions of the NFL.

It’s hard to see how the Broncos don’t finish in the bottom half of the league in QB production.

I would be more optimistic given that CJ is a proven big time running back, Devontae Booker is a stud, and Sanders and DT combine for one of the best wide receiver duos in football, but none of this matters if there is no time to get the ball to these guys.
