Texas TE Jack Endries

Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin were the top receivers in the Broncos offense this season. However, 31-year-old Evan Engram was still the next-biggest component of the passing attack. Finding a younger tight end who could take over a role should be on the to-do list this offseason.

Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor

Again, this is going to be a draft where the Broncos need to work on replacing some of the older talent on the roster. Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey have been a good veteran tackle combo, but Bolles is 33 years old and has just one year on his contract before there is an out. McGlinchey is 31 with an out in his contract this offseason.

Spencer Fano, Utah (No. 14)

Kadyn Proctor, Alabama (No. 23)

Trevor Goosby, Texas (No. 27)

Georgia LB CJ Allen

The Broncos had one of the best defenses in the league. They have the top tier talent at the premium positions to continue that trend. However, it wouldn't hurt to upgrade the linebacker corps, especially with Alex Singleton playing at 32 years old.

CJ Allen, Georgia (No. 35)

Penn State S Zakee Wheatley

P.J. Locke has played well in Denver's lockdown secondary. He's also set to be a free agent this year and could find that he's priced himself out of a return. If that's the case, the Broncos should look to the draft for his replacement.

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo (No. 21)

Zakee Wheatley, Penn State (No. 26)

Dillon Thieneman, Oregon (No. 29)
