Right around the middle of the Broncos’ 0-4 start to 2019, local radio chatter began heating up that it was time for John Elway to scrap the roster and rebuild. It became a popular narrative among certain fans, even despite the fact that the Broncos’ GM had already done the vast majority of the rebuilding.
When Drew Lock took over the Broncos had one of, if not the youngest roster in the entire league. By the end of week 17, the offensive starter with the most experience was Garett Bolles.
Since then, there’s been plenty of speculation that Elway and the Broncos added a ton of talent in an attempt to chase the playoffs for 2020.
