The 2018 offseason will be one of the most active in recent memory for the Denver Broncos.
General Manager John Elway and Head Coach Vance Joseph have much work to do in order to improve on a 5-11 season that earned the Broncos a top-five pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. But before the Broncos will select anyone in April, they have moves to make that will shape that direction.
