Good morning, Broncos Country.
The 2024 NFL Draft is just 35 days away. For many across Broncos Country that feels like an eternity, but April 25th will be here before you know. And when that day comes, the Broncos will be making a selection in the first round since snagging All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain in 2021.
Lacking premium draft picks the past two seasons due to the Russell Wilson and Sean Payton trades, the franchise is behind the eight-ball in terms of prospect talent and depth across the roster. While it’s true that many early selections flame out of the National Football League by the end of their rookie contracts, Denver is operating at a significant talent disadvantage compared to many teams in the league.
