ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Almost every decision the Denver Broncos made during the 2020 NFL draft was driven by a number.
Thirty-one.
As coach Vic Fangio noted at the end of the 2019 season, at least 31 points were scored by opponents in six of the eight losses suffered by the Kansas City Chiefs over the past two seasons. The Broncos scored that many points just once while going 7-9 in 2019. The number 31 has fueled the Broncos' offensive makeover, and during the draft they tried to arm quarterback Drew Lock with far more speed and the ability to score far more touchdowns.
