Broncos Nation have their own power rankings for the upcoming NFL season and this week they’ve started changing their minds about the team’s chances. The rookie class is solid at guard and the talent behind Demaryius Thomas is stronger than ever; there’s even an argument that the franchise has found itself a franchise quarterback in Case Keenum.
But John Elway has seen this before: he began hiring talent evaluators right before they went out and hired coaches. Will this time be different? Good question.
Thanks to a selection of 52 national experts, 32 were asked to determine where the Broncos are in this post-Elway era.
