Zach Kerr, DL

Defensive line depth is one of the most impressive on the Denver Broncos roster.

While Zach Kerr had an up-and-down first season with the franchise, his second season boasted more consistent results. When he and Shelby Harris were on the same field together they were difficult to stop.

Kerr is your traditional nose tackle and re-signing him might be one of the more underrated moves of the offseason if they make it.

Kerr tallied a sack and a half but helped create opportunities for others. A very underrated trait by some. The other thing to possibly consider is him as a developmental piece under Fangio.

However, the Broncos cannot exactly sign everyone. This is why Kerr is lower on the player priority list to retain.

When a team misses the playoffs in three straight seasons and two are the losing record variety, everyone’s job is unsafe. It is unknown where Kerr fits long-term.
