The Denver Broncos have a very interesting road ahead for the 2018 NFL Draft and offseason in general.

This roster as presently constructed has enough pieces that it feels like they could compete if they are able to pull all the right strings in free agency and the draft, but what areas need addressing?

We’re going to take a look at all of this team’s top needs, and where they should prioritize each need based on the strengths of the draft and free agency.

Of course, the Broncos have a major hole to fill at the quarterback position, but they still have three players under contract there. There are going to be a lot of changes to the roster despite minimal major changes to the coaching staff.

John Elway, Gary Kubiak, Matt Russell, and the rest of the Broncos’ font office have a lot of work to do this offseason, and here’s how I would prioritize every need and where I would attack it (draft or free agency, or both…).
