The Denver Broncos are fresh off of an insane 13-3 season in which they became the highest-scoring offense of all-time and even got to the Super Bowl. Star quarterback Peyton Manning had his March neck exam and all systems are go, which sets things up for another magical run in 2014.
Whether or not the Broncos will match or exceed what they did in 2014 is anyone’s guess, however. All we know for sure is that the offense is almost certainly going to have to get over the loss of running back Knowshon Moreno and wide receiver Eric Decker, and that doing anything close to what they did last year won’t be easy.
They’ll have Manning and revenge on the brain, though, as getting bashed 43-8 by the Seattle Seahawks in the biggest game of the year won’t leave a welcoming taste in their mouths. In order to exact their revenge and finish the job, however, they’ll need reinforcements. Denver has other free agents they could lose and they even just cut veteran corner, Champ Bailey.
If they want to move past the Super Bowl and take care of business in 2014, they’re going to need to bring in a key free agent or two, and also get it done in the 2014 NFL Draft. To do that, landing some gems might be in order. Let’s take a look at some sleeper picks the Broncos could land beyond round two that could become factors in their 2014 run and beyond:
