The Broncos need to restock on both sides of the ball.

On offense that starts with the line but they also have needs at wide receiver and running back and could use another tight end.

On defense they're looking at bolstering their linebacker group and line. They traded for CB A.J. Bouye, which leads Chris Harris Jr. to figure he's as good as gone after nine stellar seasons in Denver, and they franchise-tagged Justin Simmons.
