What are the Denver Broncos’ most underrated 2020 moves?

The Denver Broncos had one of the most productive 2020 offseasons of any team in the NFL.

While they were watching the Kansas City Chiefs come from behind in the playoffs against the Houston Texans down 24-0 in the first half, the Broncos fired offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello and hired Pat Shurmur shortly thereafter.

That move was the catalyst for the rest of an aggressive offseason by John Elway and the Denver front office, which included some big-time trades, free agent acquisitions, and of course draft picks. The roster has been dramatically altered, not just by players gained but also players lost.

Even with key losses like Chris Harris Jr. and Derek Wolfe, the Broncos have assembled a deep roster, one that will be tough to ultimately trim down when the time comes.

In case you missed it, here’s my latest roster projection where I play the role of John Elway and Vic Fangio, and try to cut this squad down to the best 53.

Since every move a team makes is micro-analyzed these days, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the most underrated moves the Broncos made this offseason. These moves could be considered underrated from a national perspective or even among Broncos Country.

Which moves that John Elway and company made for the Denver Broncos are the most underrated at this point?

Let’s take a look.
