In 2021, the Denver Broncos selected, with the 9th pick in the 1st round, Patrick Surtain II. In 2022, the Broncos traded two 1st and 2nd round picks (2022 and 2023), among other things, for quarterback Russell Wilson. At the time, Broncos Country wasn’t thrilled about the loss of draft capital, but were satisfied that the quarterback carousel would stop with the acquisition of the perennial Pro Bowler.
Then the 2022 season played out like it did and suddenly, fans missed those draft picks a whole lot more than they thought they would.
With this years draft a little more than weeks away, it’s tough to get excited knowing that, unless someone trades for Jerry Jeudy, Denver won’t make an appearance until they make back-to-back picks in the 3rd round at 67 and 68 overall.
