It doesn’t get much better than winning the last game of the NFL season. The Denver Broncos have done just that, and they managed to do so with a less than stellar performance from their legendary quarterback. With a dominant playoff run like the one we saw from them, it would lead you to believe they have no holes; however, they have a lot of money tied up in a few players, uncertainty about the future of some key components and still could use an influx of youth at key positions.

The Broncos were carried through the postseason by an elite defense. They struggled from time to time on offense. Adding a power back to salt away late leads and help dominate time of possession could take pressure off of the other side of the ball.

4. Tight End

Vernon Davis was added to give the offense a red zone threat and a big target to help extend drives on third down. He did neither consistently and all but vanished during the playoffs. This team has to add some variety to a very predictable offense.

Peyton Manning is eyeing retirement. Brock Osweiler is a free agent, and he did nothing to show he was ready to be Manning's successor at season's end. Osweiler may be the best option they have, but they still need a capable backup.

1. Offensive Tackle

Last year, they had two tackles end their season on injured reserve. Ryan Clady is a stud, but he's also becoming injury-prone. He's also owed a lot of money if he returns next year. This should be their top concern in the draft.

Osweiler Seen Shoving Woman While Holding A Pizza

Brock Osweiler was recently offered a $45 million contract by the Denver Broncos, so you would think he'd want to be on his best behavior. Instead, in a new TMZ video, Osweiler, 25, was recently seen pushing a woman while holding a box of (delicious) pizza.
