With some of the pieces in place on offense for Denver, where would be the next best place to focus on position-wise?
-- Scott Thielemier
Defensive line, because the projected starting trio of Derek Wolfe, Adam Gotsis and Shelby Harris are all scheduled to become unrestricted free agents next March if the Broncos do not sign them to extensions. Given the nature of free agency and the expected growth of a player like third-round pick Dre'Mont Jones, it would not be a surprise if at least one of those players ends up testing the market.
Safety is also a position that could be a focal point over the next nine months, as four-year veterans Simmons and Parks are in the final year of their rookie contracts. The Broncos have room to bring both back, but other needs and priorities on the roster may force a tough choice.
On offense, the progress of Connor McGovern as the first-team center also bears monitoring. Like Simmons and Parks, he is in the final year of his rookie contract.
Which date is designated as the date we officially panic about the secondary because the QBs are completing every pass?

Since my magic eight-ball is limited to vague non-answers such as "Ask again later," I'll guess August 5 and July 27, respectively.
