In an ESPN article detailing future power rankings for NFL teams, the Broncos came in at No. 7, just behind the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
"The Broncos look like they have a solid starting quarterback in Bo Nix and have arguably the NFL's best offensive line and best defense, led by star cornerback Pat Surtain II. What a turnaround for coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton," wrote Ben Solak, who discussed Denver's reasons for hope.
The Broncos' area of concern, with valid reason, is their running back situation.
