- Denver used the 12th overall pick in the first round to select Oregon quarterback Bo Nix. Good move?
- Denver sent a 6th-round pick to the Jets in exchange for a 7th-round pick and QB Zach Wilson. Broncos and New York will split his salary (about $2.72 million each).
- It’s a lottery ticket for Denver. Wilson probably isn’t going to become a great QB, but it’s a low-risk move and you never know. Worth a shot.
- Broncos now have Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson at QB. Quite a summer competition. Will they carry 3 QBs? If not, who gets cut?
- Denver sent a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Jets for DE John Franklin-Myers. After paying Haason Reddick, New York couldn’t afford to keep Franklin-Myers, so the Broncos got a huge discount.
- He had 50-straight starts for the Jets, totaling 14.5 sacks. I think of him as Denver’s new Dre’Mont Jones.
- Broncos now have an excellent front-three rotation of Zach Allen, Franklin Myers, D.J. Jones and Malcolm Roach.
- Denver got calls from the Steelers and Rams about Sutton before and during the draft, but the Broncos opted not to make a trade.
- The WR room is very crowded, so we’ll see if a trade might happen later.
- WRs: Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Tim Patric, Josh Reynold, Troy Franklin, Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Jalen Virgil, Brandon Johnson, Devaughn Vele
- Round 3: OLB Jonah Elliss, Utah (12 sacks last year; Dad played for DEN)
- Round 4: WR Troy Franklin, Oregon (steal, Nix’s favorite WR; 14 TDs in ’23)
- Round 5: CB Kris Abram-Draine, Missouri (good depth, versatile)
- Round 5: RB Audric Estimé, Notre Dame (4.71, but bruiser, vision, smart) (es-ta-may)
- RB Blake Watson, Memphis (UDFA RB1)
- OT Frank Crum, Wyoming (UDFA OT1)
- RBs: Williams, Samaje, Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estimé, Blake Watson
- The Broncos got new primary uniforms. Do you like them?
- They also broke out amazing throwback uniforms
- Rookie minicamp in May, then OTAs
- NFL schedule coming May 9?
- Mandatory minicamp in mid-June
- Training camp begins in late July
- Preseason and roster cuts in August
