If you were one of the few who predicted the Broncos were going to trade up into the second-round and use their first pick on a receiver–I tip my hat to you. Maybe you disagree and think Garret BoLles sticks around for a few more seasons. They added a name or two in this year’s UDFA period, but I’ll just go on record now saying OT is one of Denver’s biggest needs for 2024. I don’t know for sure, but that has to be some sort of record.

It’s now been six years in a row where the Broncos haven’t drafted an offensive tackle. It had been reported all draft cycle they loved him. Kind of feel like they read the room wrong if they assumed the New York Giants weren’t interested. Something just doesn’t seem right unless nobody wanted to move back. If Denver was really enamored with him, why wouldn’t they have moved up and got him? They moved up for Mims and they moved up for Moss. Count me in as one who was bummed when hew went off the board several picks before Denver was originally slated to pick at #67. The Broncos were allegedly incredibly high on Minnesota center John Michael Schmitz. That being said, I’d be pretty stunned if they didn’t add someone else to the room. That’s why I’m a little bit concerned with what is there currently.

Who would the Broncos’ top guy be if Samaje Perine missed time? I have no idea. Even if they project Javonte Williams to be ahead of schedule with his recovery, I felt they would certainly use a pick to add to the room. Musing #1įirst things first, I am surprised they didn’t draft a running back. Your mileage may vary.īut before I get into discussing the picks and giving them grades, I’ll offer up some random musings relative to how the Broncos navigated this year’s draft. Heck, I think they actually got a lot better. The 2023 NFL Draft is in the books and the Denver Broncos, despite having very few selections, got better.
