The Denver Broncos improved demonstrably on the defensive side of the ball in 2024. Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph did a tremendous job with the changes he made. Moreover, the additions of Malcom Roach and John Franklin-Myers in the trenches helped transform the Broncos’ defense to one of the National Football League’s best units.
Head Coach Sean Payton and General Manager George Paton have noted several times over the course of the offseason that building upon their strengths in the trenches is a possibility in the 2025 NFL Draft. Considering several key contributors on the defensive line are up for extensions at the end of next season, that seems like a smart plan of attack.
