They definitely seem to fill their roster chock full of top 13 and top 17 players, but don't really seem to have a plan on which ones to keep, who to move on or let leave for someone better coming through, etc.

If you build a squad of guys still playing in the league that started/debuted with the broncos it's a very decent squad and it shows that there is pretty much a full 30-man squad of starting 17 calibre players across them.

The issue is that the Broncos should know that they absolutely cannot afford to keep that much talent together, but they can't seem to pull the trigger at the right time and succumb to FOMO until the salary cap forces the decision to be made for them.

They also can't seem to develop talent that fills the role of serviceable next man up and instead seem to select the shiny top tier junior over a capable no frills footy player... It's not a bad tactic, because you're likely to hit on top tier talent, but those players inevitably demand bigger money once they hit first grade and then we don't like losing them, but it's not something that seems to get factored into the forward planning.
