If offensive line play is decent, the Broncos should be able to move the ball on the ground with lots of solid candidates at RB. Byron Newman, Dru Spady, Avery Roundtree, Cameron Boydstun and Jerome Binns will all compete for carries and offer varying pieces to the puzzle. Donovan Penny will take over at QB, and there are a few guys back in the trenches that should be solid. On defense, a lot of question marks are present, but linebackers and secondary members must develop. There is a foundation to build from, but a lot of work is needed.
