While the Broncos will be breaking-in a new QB, they'll be able to rely on RB Bradley Randle (about 1000 yards last year) and WR Hollis Jones. Defensively, VMHS was stellar, yielding only 13.5 points per game, but a lot of that experience will be missing this fall. While a playoff spot might be a reasonable expectation, the Broncos may have lost too much to compete for a SS title.
