After a very strong offseason, the Denver Broncos’ roster is almost complete.

There’s always tinkering to be done between June and September, but for the most part, this group will not change a whole lot.

One position where the Broncos are particularly strong is at safety, where their current group boasts an intriguing combination of athleticism, size, and versatility.

If the ‘No Fly Zone’ is going to remain active despite the words of Aqib Talib, the safety position is really going to need to step up in 2018 and prove that they are better than the group that was built for the Super Bowl 50 run in 2015.

As the offseason progresses, and as we get into the 2018 season, I think this group will have no trouble proving exactly that.

Let’s take a look at each player that makes up this position group, and a snapshot of what every guy brings to the table.
