#3 Denver Broncos: 6-10

The Broncos have a decent team assembled, with veteran QB Joe Flacco at the helm. However, with his best years seemingly behind him, I don't see Denver making much noise this season. Drew Lock is an interesting QB prospect, who should bring great competition to the Broncos' quarterback room.

It's no shocker that John Elway hasn't had the greatest success with drafting quarterbacks (E.g. Brock Osweiler, Chad Kelly, Tim Tebow, Jay Cutler, etc). That said, Drew Lock has the prototypical height that most GMs look for in a potential franchise QB. It'll be very interesting to see if Lock can break the 'curse' that continues to haunt Elway and their fans.

Defensively, this team is stout. But it won't be enough to compete with Kansas City and Los Angeles. The offensive line isn't the great, either. I'd give Denver another season or two before I think they'll be ready to return to their 2015 Super Bowl-winning form.
