While the Denver Broncos have a number of major roster needs this offseason, who are the players already on the team that could be ‘diamonds in the rough’?

I think there are more than Broncos fans might realize.

One thing the Broncos have done as well as any other team in the league is develop unheralded talent into significant contributors and in some cases even key starters.

Those are the gems I’m looking for with this post, and I want to go position-by-position on the roster and look at what players could be hidden gems on this Broncos team.
