Denver’s preseason run has turned into a loud, data-driven case for a deep, ready-to-win roster. Payton and Paton emphasize trench strength, a franchise quarterback, and a weapons slate after a 3-0 warmup. J.K. Dobbins arrived with instant command of the room, Sutton and Allen anchor both sides, Nix and Ehlinger push Week 1 plans, and Bonitto’s extension talks hover in the background. The 69-man approach, waivers and practice squad depth create a flexible path to a legitimate title chase.
