Denver Broncos Record Prediction 2020
Denver Broncos Record Prediction
As I mentioned in my NFL Power Rankings, the Broncos made some great moves this off-season making an already good team great. Their 7-9 record did not do them justice as most of their losses were within a single score including a couple of really bad calls to keep them out of the playoffs.
It took until week 13 for the Broncos to go with Drew Lock. That’s when they began playing their best football with the rookie finishing the season 4-1 as a starter.
Drew Lock in now going into his 2nd season with the some serious talent added to the offense. Melvin Gordon was their big off-season signing who will be added in with Philip Lindsay as one of the most dangerous running back duos in the NFL. They also spent their first 2 picks to add Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler to the receiving corp. Courtland Sutton has already proved he can play like a top 10 wide receiver in the NFL and Jeudy was arguably the best wide receiver of his draft class.
The Denver Broncos have been notoriously reliant on their defense in recent years. I believe they now have the offense to compliment the defense that has been winning them games.
They lost Chris Harris and Derek Wolfe, but made up for it by signing A.J. Bouye and trading for Jurrell Casey.
The front is looking great with the pass rushing duo of Bradley Chubb and Von Miller getting even better. Justin Simmons looks to once again lead this secondary after the best season of his career. I expect him to be in the conversation for first team all-pro next season.
I don’t think this team is refined enough to clean the table, but I see them winning a couple of really tough games at home against the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs. This team should have made the playoffs last season and I think they are a much better team going into the 2020-21 season.
