I'm a lot more bullish on Denver's defense than most people.
They REALLY missed Dumervil last season. Not just his 17 sacks but his constant pressure, the guy is just relentless. Apparently he is in the best shape of his career and I think he's going to give a major boost. They also have Von Miller who has looked excellent in practice and should help as well. Another intriguing rookie worth watching is Rahim Moore at safety. This guy was a projected 1st round pick for a couple of years but slipped due to a so-so combine to the 2nd round. Brian Dawkins should be a great mentor and with his skillset he could be a big time steal. Ayers is back in his natural DE spot in the 4-3 and reports are he's looked good. I haven't even mentioned DJ Williams yet who is one of the most underrated players in football and should thrive playing the weakside spot in the 4-3. The secondary of Bailey, Goodman, Moore, and Dawkins isn't elite but it is a hell of a lot better than a lot of units in the league.
The Broncos have switched back to the 4-3 with John Fox who is a defense before offense guy as opposed to McDaniels who was all offense.
I think this will one of the most improved units in the league.
