The Denver Broncos have definitely improved this offseason, especially on offense. With the AFC West franchise adding to its roster over the weekend, thanks to the 2019 NFL Draft, Broncos general manager and president of football operations John Elway appears to be quite happy with the team's offseason thus far.
In addition to adding veteran quarterback Joe Flacco by way of a trade with the Baltimore Ravens, the Broncos recently drafted both former Iowa tight end Noah Fant and former Missouri quarterback Drew Lock.
“I think that, first of all, we improved in the offseason with the addition of [QB] Joe Flacco and bringing him in, and Ja'Wuan James at the right tackle,” Elway said on Saturday, via 247 Sports. “Those two obviously coming in have helped us offensively. Then going with Noah and Dalton with the first two picks, we feel like they can come in and help us also. I think we’re a lot better on the offensive line. I think we continue to get better there, but I think we got better on the offensive line. Obviously, Noah can stretch the field. Joe’s going to—to me, we still believe he has tremendous upside in his career—so we feel a lot better about that. Then Drew coming in and competing for the backup spot, it gives us some depth there. We feel much better sitting here now today than we did coming out of last season with where we are and the additions that we’ve made—not only as the players, but also with Vic and his staff.”
With the Broncos battling it out with both the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West, Denver was forced to improve in a hurry with the 2019 campaign looming.
