4 second-year Denver Broncos players in line for much bigger roles in 2024
The Denver Broncos are preparing for a new era, one that will hopefully bring much more success than the team has become accustomed to seeing. The Broncos will feature a vastly different, younger team in 2024. To get things moving in the right direction, these players need to step into bigger roles in their second season with the team.

Expert Commentary
Quarterback thirst has officially gone too far. There’s simply no need for the Broncos to force this pick here. Bo Nix does not have the profile of the quarterback that’s going to save Denver. Bo Nix, Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham will battle it out this summer for the right to be the starter, but Nix is closer to being a backup in the NFL than a franchise starter.

The Broncos needed a pass rusher and Elliss is a great value at this point in the draft. He’s a high-floor guy who should be able to start right away.
