32. Denver Broncos

It appears the Broncos will hand the keys to the offense to Mark Sanchez, the man who has earned the nicknames "Sanchize" and "Butt Fumble" in his time in the league. Other prestigious accomplishments include a career 56.7 percent completion percentage, 3.7 percent interception rate, and 74.3 quarterback rating, all of which are worst among active starting quarterbacks.

If, by some unforeseen turn of events, Sanchez doesn't succeed, the Broncos' second option appears to be Trevor Siemian, who doesn't have a single pass attempt in the National Football League, but does have a 57.5 percent completion rate against third- and fourth-stringers in preseason action to his name.

Third-string quarterback and first-round pick, Paxton Lynch, has struggled this offseason and isn't considered any real threat to Sanchize for first-team reps at this time.

All in all, the 2016 outlook is pretty brutal for Denver at the quarterback position. It will be hard for them to post a season worse than the combination of Manning and Osweiler in 2015, who combined for the league's 31st-ranked quarterback rating (76.3) and the fifth-worst schedule-adjusted Passing NEP per drop back average last year. But, with their current options, they may have found one.
