Daniel Jeremiah thinks Broncos' roster can support a rookie QB

(Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports)

The 2024 NFL draft is coming this week, and with Russell Wilson out of the fold, the Broncos will be in the market for a starting quarterback.

During a conference call with reporters last week ahead of the draft, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah was asked if the Broncos have a roster that could support a rookie quarterback in 2024.

“I think it’s set up to be functional,” Jeremiah said. “You look at having the offensive mind/play caller there with Sean [Payton] and [Joe] Lombardi having been together forever. Those guys know what they’re doing. So you’ve got that taken care of. I think the offensive line’s in decent shape. So you start there.”

Jeremiah went on to elaborate that the Broncos have enough weapons for a quarterback to succeed. Are they elite weapons? To Jeremiah, they aren’t. However, they are interesting enough for a rookie quarterback to come in and possibly elevate the offense.

“To me, they need to have premier, premier weapons, but they’ve got some interesting guys. I like what [Marvin] Mims did last year. They’ve still got those veterans out there. I’ll put it this way: I think it’s set up to be sustainable. You’re not going to ruin the quarterback by throwing him out there with that group right now.”

The 2024 NFL draft begins on April 25th. We’ll see if Jeremiah’s assessment holds up.
