Team Needs: Denver Broncos

Denver Broncos- There is not much the Broncos can improve on. They had a top 5 offense and defense and will look to improve their already great numbers. They had a good chance to win the Superbowl, if they did not give up the late long bomb to the Ravens. They lost a few important players, but also filled some needs before the draft. I expect big things for them next year.

Key 2012 Statistics:

Pass Defense: 3rd

Rush Defense: 3rd

Sacks/INT (Rank): 52/16 (T-1st/13th)

Free Agency:

Key Losses: DE Elvis Dumervil, LB D.J Williams, CB Tracy Porter, DE Ty Warren, DT Justin Bannan, C Dan Koppen

Key Additions: WR Wes Welker, CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, DT Terrance Knighton, G Louis Vasquez

Draft Needs:

Safety: They have a young player in Rahim Moore, who is growing as a player, but Mike Adams can be replaced. Good thing this draft is stacked with safeties and they should be able to find someone who will at least create competition at the position.

Defensive End: After losing Dumervil, they will need to find someone to fill this need. They have Derek Wolfe on one side who played well in his rookie season. They also have Robert Ayers, but they will need to improve on him and add more depth

Linebacker: This is the weakest position on the team. They only have one sure thing at the position in Von Miller and will look to address this early on in the draft. They have four players who can step in and play, but not at a high level.

Running Back: Willis McGahee, and Knowshon Moreno are often injured, but are solid players. Ronnie Hillman is still learning and has shown he can play, but still has question marks. They will need to add depth at the position and will address it later in the draft.

Cornerback: Adding Cromartie-Rodgers was big, but they still need help here. If a solid player falls to them early I think they grab him. This draft is stacked at the position and I don’t think they will reach for a player, but instead wait until the player they want falls to them.
