The Denver Broncos have a stacked roster but haven’t put together a playoff season since winning Super Bowl 50. Vic Fangio is in his third year as the team’s head coach and hasn’t even produced an 8-8 season yet. Expectations for Fangio and Drew Lock are playoffs or bust this year. Failure to capitalize on their nine draft selections and produce a satisfying campaign could result in pink slips for Fangio’s staff and their young quarterback. Denver added cornerbacks Ronald Darby and Kyle Fuller in the offseason while successfully reaching a four-year extension with Justin Simmons. The Broncos plan on battling Kansas City for the AFC West division title this season, but quarterback play could crush Denver’s championship aspirations.
