Despite no first-round pick, NFL Draft still crucial to Broncos

There’s no doubt the focus on the NFL Draft is not what it typically is this time of year.

At least for casuals like myself. I’ve joked that if I want to stay married, there’s no way I could devote as much time needed on the college game.

We can thank Russell Wilson for that and the fact the Denver Broncos finally have their franchise quarterback. As George Paton joked this week, they’ll watch Wilson highlights come Thursday and the first round of the draft.

However, as I told Adam Malnati on the MHR Radio Podcast, that doesn’t lessen how important this Draft is for Paton and Denver.
