As recently as Wednesday, Broncos special teams coach Darren Rizzi made things abundantly clear: Denver’s staff still hadn’t settled on its final 53-man roster.

“There’s still some meat on the bone there, and there’s some guys that still have some work to do,” Rizzi said. “And they can show some stuff in this last game.”

The preseason’s now come to an end, though, with Denver’s 28-19 win over the Saints on Saturday in New Orleans. A few positional battles have resolved themselves with roster movement — like this week’s trade of receiver Devaughn Vele — while others are still coming down to the wire.

Here’s the final 53-man roster projection from each of The Denver Post’s Broncos beat writers, Parker Gabriel and Luca Evans, with thoughts and analysis of any discrepancies.
