Dre’Mont Jones

Stats

Tackles: 14

Sacks: 3.5

Tackles for loss: 3.5

Interceptions: 1

The rookie Jones was brought along slowly as he saw action in just under 27 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. In limited action, he showed himself to be a potential future star.

He showed his athleticism by grabbing his first career interception and in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions, he had 2.5 sacks in the game. Jones has a chance to be in the starting lineup next season.

Though it was just a small sample size, Jones played well when he was out there.

Grade: B

Overall grade

Despite not having a major name on the defensive line, the Broncos played quite well in that area in 2019 given the circumstances.

It will be an interesting offseason in terms of the players set to become free agents and the Broncos should do what is needed to keep Harris and Wolfe or — at the very least — one of them.

Purcell and Jones are two guys the team can try to lean on in 2020 if one of those veteran players remains in place.

Gotsis should be done in Denver as he has never lived up to his billing as a second-round pick. Conversely, Walker may have turned his career around with his 2019 performance and could become a solid situational defender for the team.

Grade: B-
