PFF ranks Broncos’ roster dead last in the NFL

Pro Football Focus ranked all 32 rosters in the NFL. They have the Broncos ranked last.

The Denver Broncos went 8-9 last season, but Pro Football Focus has them ranked as the worst roster in the NFL leading into the 2024 season (32nd out of 32 clubs). Perhaps it could be the release of Russell Wilson and Justin Simmons, as they are not on the roster, but that may not have made much of a difference.

According to Jim Wyman and Dalton Wasserman of PFF, though, the strength of this Broncos’ roster will be their offensive line.

“Other than at center, which is up in the air after Lloyd Cushenberry III’s departure, the Broncos have a very well-rounded offensive line,” Wyman and Wasserman wrote. “Quinn Meinerz was a breakout star last season, posting an 83.7 grade that ranked third among all guards.”

However, PFF highlights the weaknesses for Denver going into 2024 will be the defense.

“Outside of Patrick Surtain II, this defense lacks playmakers at every level. The unit was responsible for a 70-point debacle against the Dolphins in 2023 that made them the laughingstock of the league.

“Things improved dramatically throughout the season, as defensive coordinator Vance Joseph managed to do damage control and reorganize the defense in a more favorable manner, but there are still a lot of holes that weren’t fixed.”

While analytics drives Pro Football Focus regarding ratings, we will have to see if the eye test backs up PFF’s claim about Denver’s roster moving forward. To view the complete rankings, visit PFF’s website.

Denver Broncos 90-man offseason roster, sorted by jersey number

Here is the Broncos’ 90-man offseason roster ahead of training camp, sorted by jersey number.

With organized team activities wrapping up and mandatory minicamp set for next week, the Denver Broncos are about to have a summer break.

After minicamp, players will have off until reporting back to the team’s facility for the start of training camp, which typically begins in late July.

As the Broncos prepare to go into the slowest part of the NFL offseason, here’s a gallery of the team’s 90-man offseason roster, sorted by jersey number from 1 through 99. Fans should note that players are allowed to share numbers during the offseason if they play on different sides of the ball.

Denver will trim the roster from 90 players down to 53 later this summer. The NFL’s deadline for submitting a 53-man roster is Tuesday, Aug. 29.
