2022 Broncos' Season, Pre-Camp Roster Prediction

 


Training Camp for the 2022 NFL Season kicks off next week. In short, Football is back. Before camp begins, I'll make my fearless prediction for who makes the final 53-man roster. Below is what I'm thinking now, watch for updates throughout camp!

QB (2)

  • Russell Wilson
  • Josh Johnson

About: I think the Broncos only keep two here, leading with Wilson and adding Johnson, the veteran signed this off-season, as a backup.

RB (3)
  • Javonte Williams
  • Melvin Gordon
  • Mike Boone
About: The Broncos could keep more, but I think they go with three here, too. I think the three is fairly set with the star in Williams, the veteran in Gordon and the utility man in Boone.

WR (6)
  • Courtland Sutton
  • Tim Patrick
  • Jerry Jeudy
  • K.J. Hamler
  • Travis Fulgham
  • Montrell Washington
About: This is one of the tougher groups to guess. The Broncos could keep more. The top four seem set. I think Fulgham gets the nod as a veteran who could be a good contributor, while Washington makes it as the primary returner. This is the group to watch closely during the pre-season.

TE (4)
  • Albert Okwuegbunam
  • Greg Dulcich
  • Eric Tomlinson
  • Andrew Beck
About: Another tough group to handicap. I like Eric Saubert, but I think it's a numbers game. Tomlinson is a blocker and Beck can play fullback, while Albert O. and Dulcich are the receiving tight ends.

Offensive Line (9)
  • Garrett Bolles
  • Calvin Anderson
  • Dalton Risner
  • Graham Glasgow
  • Lloyd Cushenberry
  • Netane Muti
  • Quinn Meinerz
  • Billy Turner
  • Tom Compton
About: There are a lot of options here, and likely some tough cuts among the younger options. I like this group and the potential depth. It's a good mix of people who are versatile, too.

Defensive Line (6)
  • Dre'Mont Jones
  • D.J. Jones
  • McTelvin Agim
  • Mike Purcell
  • Eyioma Uwazuirke
  • Marquiss Spencer
About: I like the core of talent here on the defensive line, there will be some tough cuts. D.J. Jones was the big off-season addition, while Dre'Mont Jones and Agim have developed into solid starters. I think Purcell is kept for experience while the team goes with youth with the last two picks.

Linebackers (10)
  • Randy Gregory
  • Bradley Chubb
  • Baron Browning
  • Josey Jewell
  • Nik Bonitto
  • Jonathan Cooper
  • Malik Reed
  • Alex Singleton
  • Justin Strnad
  • Jonas Griffith
About: Linebacker is another deep position. I think the Broncos will keep many players here because depth is key, and this is a group that will contribute on Special Teams.

Cornerback (5)
  • Patrick Surtain II
  • Ronald Darby
  • K'Waun Williams
  • Essang Bassey
  • Damarri Mathis
About: The tough call here is Michael Ojemudia. I think he ends up missing the cut while the Broncos go with a couple other young players.

Safety (5)
  • Justin Simmons
  • Kareem Jackson
  • Caden Sterns
  • J.R. Reed
  • Delarrin Turner-Yell
About: Another interesting and tough group. Simmons, Jackson and Sterns are locks. I think Reed stays as an FA signing and the Broncos lean toward their 2022 draft pick. Some tough cuts here.

Special Teams (3)
  • Brandon McManus
  • Sam Martin
  • Jacob Bobenmoyer
About: This unit is an easy lock.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve
