ESPN ranks Broncos 'Under 25' talent as below average
The Denver Broncos have a very young football team and most analysts think this team is on the upswing due to the young talent they have. There is one outlet that disagrees. ESPN took a look at the Broncos under 25 players and put them 19th overall.

Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy makes great first impression
C Austin Schlottmann and RT Jake Rodgers “are in the hunt, both for starting jobs and making the team,” head coach Vic Fangio said. Teams weren’t allowed to bring in free agents until a few days ago, so 12th-year tackle Demar Dotson is way behind in the playbook. Certainly he has the license and the permit to win a starting job if he can.

Not having to trade up was key; John Elway was confident his guy would be there, and it paid off. Jeudy is a smooth operator who already runs routes better than some pros, and should overcome a few physical shortcomings to be great in the NFL.

The Broncos are doubling up on wideouts after taking Jerry Jeudy in Round 1 and doubling down on Drew Lock’s ability to get the ball vertical. Hamler had drop issues last season, but he’s a deep threat who can split safeties and hit home runs. He's also a good returner. Interesting decision here.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
An ascending talent with a long frame and the versatility to play safety if needed, Ojemudia has a decent nose for the ball and was a solid player for the Hawkeyes. The hope is that he can continue to grow instincts for the position and become a good zone defender in time.

Maybe this means free-agent signing Graham Glasgow is tabbed for guard, not center. Cushenberry brings terrific leadership and intelligence to the field, eventually raising his level of play in 2019 and leading the Joe Moore Award-winning unit at LSU. He’s not a mauler and gets pushed back vs. power, but this is a great value here. Cushenberry did practice at guard at LSU and could be tried there as well.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A Vic Fangio pick for sure. As the pre-draft process went on and coaches got more involved in scouting, they noticed Agim's low center of gravity, outstanding motor, good hands and nice power. That seemed to push him up boards a bit, and we can see Fangio getting the most from this former elite high-school recruit whose development stunted a bit in a floundering Arkansas program.
