Denver Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones sacks New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe , forces a fumble and recovers the ball in the first quarter at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Sunday Dec. 24, 2023. Denver Broncos linebacker Baron Browning was in on the play. Hello Parker! Quarterbacks talks aside, I don’t really get why edge rushers are seen by many as this big need.

Overall, the front seven in general needs help. Edge, DL, linebacker. Any of them, all of them. And the time for action is drawing near. The quarterbacks will get so much attention, but they’ll also be trying to figure out if one of the guys I mentioned above can be a Dre’Mont Jones-type third-round defensive line find. Or if they can find a Quinn Meinerz on Day 2. Or if any of this year’s tight end group beyond Georgia’s Brock Bowers — Maybe Kansas State’s Ben Sinnott or Penn State’s Theo Johnson — can inject some juice into that room.

McCaffrey would fit nicely with the Broncos, though Payton does like playing with big slot players rather than the more traditional smaller, quicker guys. I covered McCaffrey’s recruitment to Nebraska and his two years there, so it was fun to catch up with him this offseason. When you watch him, watch how quickly he goes from catching the ball to top speed. It’s like he never even considers slowing down.
