**What I Learned: John Elway on eight years as Broncos GM/president** (Peter King, NBC Sports)

"The key thing I learned in the coach-selection process: Cover your bases thoroughly and get the best candidates that you can and don't make your mind up going in. Don't draw any conclusions before you go into the coaching interviews. Take each interview in the moment and do not pre-draw it. Don't combine it with the other ones and don't make your mind up when you walk out. Be as thorough as you can and try to find the right guy that fits your job at that point in time."

This is a division where the Broncos will play six games in 2019 against Mahomes, Philip Rivers and — we think — Derek Carr. What I'd like to see the Broncos do against Mahomes next year: Get away from their six-defensive back package, play an extra linebacker to shadow Mahomes while having the pass rushers work the edges and put Bradley Chubb inside to provide another wave of pressure.

Denver's decision to part ways with offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and not fill his vacancy with Gary Kubiak signals an ideological shift under new head coach Vic Fangio. Here is a closer look at five potential candidates to become the Broncos' next offensive coordinator and play caller.
