Broncos 2012 second-round pick Brock Osweiler has reportedly showed a "power arm" in practices and VP of Football Operations John Elway likes Osweiler's "mental makeup and swagger."

Osweiler is "clearly" Denver's No. 2 QB and heir apparent to Peyton Manning, per the Denver Post. The Post anticipates the Broncos using a third-day draft pick on a developmental passer like Miami of Ohio's Zac Dysert in order to get three quarterbacks in the meeting room with Manning. Osweiler is an intriguing long-term prospect in Dynasty fantasy leagues. Peyton turned 37 in March.

Playing the entire second half, Broncos rookie Brock Osweiler completed just 5-of-11 passes for 38 yards against the Seahawks in the second preseason game.

Denver was outgained 302 yards to 37 after halftime, as Osweiler was severely outplayed by fellow rookie Russell Wilson, who led three touchdown drives over 68 yards apiece. In a preview of what would likely occur should Peyton Manning miss time, the Broncos offense was thoroughly inept with Osweiler under center. "I'm concerned with all of our depth at this point," conceded coach John Fox.

The Denver Post anticipates second-round pick Brock Osweiler breaking camp as the Broncos' No. 2 quarterback barring preseason implosion.

Per beat writer Jeff Legwold, Osweiler has been "solidly" the No. 2 so far in team drills, ahead of Caleb Hanie and Adam Weber. The Broncos have reportedly been pleased by offseason tweaks to Osweiler's throwing motion, which was largely sidearm at Arizona State. He's someone to track in Dynasty leagues.
