Who Makes The Broncos In 2014

I am going to pick a different position group and go over who I think will remain on the team, who will be cut, and why. I will start off with the offense, and focus specifically on the running backs. Everyone at Dove Valley has said that Denver will make more of an effort to establish the running game this year, but lets be realistic, Manning will still put up big numbers, and his arm and ability to breakdown a defense are what makes this offense go. With that being said whoever is in the game at running back had better be able to pass block. My prediction is that Denver will keep 3-4 running backs for the 2014-2015 season. Obviously Montee Ball is the starter, and I believe he has the capability to be a very special back in the NFL. Then there is the battle at the number 2 spot with CJ Anderson, Ronnie Hillman, and now Juwan Thompson. Behind them are Kapri Bibbs, Brennan Clay, and Jerodis Williams, and they are competing of course to make the team, but also to be kept on the practice squad. Montee Ball was the best running back in college when he was at Wisconsin, and he has shown the skills in the NFL that warranted making him the starter and letter Knowshon Moreno leave. Hillman is a change of pace guy, and has the speed to hit the home run. CJ Anderson is last years Juwan Thompson. CJ showed up from basically nowhere, but runs with a chip on his shoulder, and he seems to be able to break through the defensive line into the second level of the defense as good, or better than anyone on the team. Anderson works hard and should make this team. Finally this brings us to Juwan Thompson who is the surprise of camp this year. This guy is the complete package. He is big at 225lbs, but also possesses decent speed running in the low 4.5s in the 40 yard dash. As I mentioned above I see Denver keeping 3-4 running backs, and I see the 3-4 backs making the team being Montee Ball, CJ Anderson, Ronnie Hillman, and Juwan Thompson. Kapri Bibbs will be placed on the practice squad for the year. Next time I will breakdown the offensive line and tight ends.
