Conclusion

With the key starters on defense and the young talent on the roster, I do not believe the Denver Broncos have a huge need at safety. Players like Justin Simmons, Darian Stewart, Will Parks, and Su’a Cravens could thrive well under Vic Fangio.

Fangio is a grizzly, no non-sense coach who specializes in defense. I believe he will get more out his players than Vance Joseph was able to.

I do not think it would hurt to find a player either in free agency, with a low price, or a late round draft pick at safety. But I do not think a safety is the biggest concern with how the position looks right now.

A new defensive mind could do wonders for this team. It will all come down to when the players hit the field.
