Had they retained QB Brock Osweiler, the Denver Broncos could have been first on this list.

After winning Super Bowl 50 with one of the best defenses the league has seen in a while, the Broncos enter the 2016 season with the majority of the defense still in tact.

Gary Kubiak says Trevor Siemian can be Broncos Starter

With Peyton Manning retiring, the Broncos traded with the Philadelphia Eagles for QB Mark Sanchez (yes, this same Mark Sanchez) and have yet to make any moves that could further help their QB position.

It is possible that John Elway is not done addressing their situation, and could add a QB in the draft. But it’s also possible that due to the Broncos track record with QBs after John Elway (Jake Plummer, Kyle Orton, Jay Cutler, Tim Tebow), they could just hope this Mark Sanchez thing works out.
