Denver Broncos' projected roster

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Examining the Denver Broncos' roster:

Quarterbacks (3)

Peyton Manning
Brock Osweiler
Zac Dysert


The Broncos carried three here last season and thought enough of Dysert to keep him despite a long list of injuries on defense that eventually saw five starters on injured reserve. It could be more difficult to use that third spot on Dysert again. The Broncos would like to, but it might be a luxury they can’t afford this time around, especially if they want a return specialist.

No C.J Anderson, I sincerely hope Legwold is wrong. No point in keeping Clay and Hillman, either/or.

I hope C.J. Anderson is gone. People would quit yapping about how great he is.

[Timmy!]

RB is up in the air. Camp+preseason will determine #2 down....which is good really, gotta earn it.

[Timmy!]

Nacho not making the roster but bolden making it? Dunno about all that.

that's a bit strong for a 3rd string back -- what he do to you? besides not fumble and run hard with every opportunity he got.. which were not many.

[underrated29]

Bolden is terrible. Just remember that if he was not hurt he would have been a 1st or 2nd rd pick at corner. What a waste that would have been. I don't like him as a 4th.

The comment is more directed at people yammering about how great he is than anything he's ever really done or not done...

I'd love to be wrong, here, but at this point he's nothing but a backup quarterback syndrome player, who the fans love because he hasn't played. There are a zillion of those players out there. I suppose if it's not Anderson, the fans will latch on to somebody.

That better not happen. I don't want Bolden and Hillman on this roster come opening day. Both were big mistakes two years ago. Should have taken Bernard Pierce instead of Hillman.

Because Bolden has had snaps at corner and safety, he's almost a lock to make the roster. We had Jammer playing significant snaps last year and if Bolden is even a half-serviceable player he should be on the team because of his ability to back up two positions along with his special teams value. Hillman will also be on the roster and if he is finally ready to hold onto the football, he could become the lightning to Ball's thunder. There is no question he is still more talented than the UDFAs behind him, so I just don't see him getting cut unless he has preseason fumbles.

I don't of anyone that said Anderson is the greatest thing since sliced bread but I liked what I saw and I think he has a good chance to make roster.

[atwater27]

Nobody is saying CJ is amazing. Don't know where that came from. The smart fans just want to know there is someone halfway capable of carrying the rock, moving the pile and protecting our old fragile QB if Ball gets injured.

[nevcraw]

we had derek loville as a back up to TD.. no one mentions him ever but he was a good solid dependable back-up.. look at the what he did when TD got his ribs hurt during the second super bowl run.. CJ he doesn't have to be a super star just dependable..

I'm so glad the fan's are not aloud to play GM. those teams that do are usually in the toilet.

Exactly. :cheers:

Bolden is pretty good on punt and kick off coverage.

No, no they wouldn't.

Fragile?

[underrated29]

I personally don't see how bolden makes the roster unless someone gets *cough* *cough*

I see 5 safeties tops and 10dbs at most.

Rahim

Bruton (st)
Ihenacho
Qcarter

Aqib
Roby
Webster
Harris
Tony carter

There is also the sleeper safety Josh Boynett.

To me there is no room for bolden. He is also IMO not a good return man. Yes he did have 1 Td on a kickoff return and had a lane the whole time. I just do not see much in the way of talent for him.

I don't like Hillman but I see the talent. He will make it. Cj I see the talent and think he will make it too.

Camp is next week. We will find out soon.

[wcben]

Yes ^^^ I really hope Carter stays healthy and finally has a coming out party like Julius did last year.

[Magnificent Seven]

It looks like we have our front 4.

DE: DeMarcus Ware # 94

DT: Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton # 98

DT: Kevin Vickerson # 99

DE: Derek Wolfe # 95

I don't know, Sly Williams has been tearing it up in camp from what I hear. I see him as a starter in our base D over Vickerson

Regardless of who starts, all 3 should get a lot of snaps. Knighton is probably too heavy to handle 50 snaps a game anyway, and Vickerson is fairly similar.

Right, I agree with this. "Base D" is kind of an outdated concept anyway.

[TXBRONC]

Two things:

First, I agree with the sentiment that Williams could end up being the starter if he continues to have great camp. He was a first round pick so I would think that Fox wants him in starting line up if they think he's ready for it. Vickerson is a solid run stuffing defensive tackle but I think Williams could be a much more disruptive interior pass rusher.

Second, being a starter at defensive tackle still means something because starters still get the majority of the snaps even if they have heavy rotation.

[Jsteve01]

No C.J Anderson, I sincerely hope Legwold is wrong. No point in keeping Clay and Hillman, either/or.. Fox likes big backs. Barring injury Anderson sticks

[Jsteve01]

I agree with that for the most part. Usually the #3 guy will get close to as many snaps....the #4 guy, not so much.

Hillman says hi. He was drafted by Fox and Elway.
