In his way-too-early 2020 NFL power rankings for Touchdown Wire, Doug Farrar has the Denver Broncos ranked No. 25, making them the eighth-worst team in the league, at least in his eyes.
Here’s part of what Farrar had to say about Denver’s outlook for 2020:
There’s work to be done here, but [Drew] Lock has the most potential of any Broncos quarterback since … well, Peyton Manning. Not to put Lock on that level yet; it’s more an indictment of the quarterbacks John Elway has chosen over the past few seasons. [Pat] Shurmur and Lock seem like a good match.
Shurmur served as the New York Giants’ head coach from 2018-2019 and was hired to serve as the Broncos’ new offensive coordinator earlier this year. He has said that he is “very, very excited” to work with Lock.
The Broncos are the lowest-ranked AFC West team in the power rankings, below the Las Vegas Raiders (No. 22), Los Angeles Chargers (No. 17) and Kansas City Chiefs (No. 1). The Cincinnati Bengals are ranked No. 32. To view the complete power rankings on Touchdown Wire, click here.
