If the season ended today, the Broncos would have the 8th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft

If the 2018 NFL season ended today(It doesn’t), the Denver Broncos would have the 8th overall pick according to Tankathon.com.

If the Broncos season continues to fall apart, they could easily end up in the top 5 once again. Last season, they had the 5th overall pick and selected pass rusher Bradley Chubb and he is already proving to be a star in the making. So, could the Broncos be in the position to nab another potential star in the upcoming draft?

I think so.

Let’s face it. This season is already(has been for weeks) over for the Broncos. Big changes are coming and the injuries are beginning to pile up. So it is time to look ahead to the future for the Broncos.

So what sort of prospects could the Broncos be looking at? Well, it is a defensive heavy draft class and the Broncos could continue to reload their defense. An interior pass rusher like Ed Oliver or a cornerback prospect like Greedy Williams to replenish their secondary.

Unfortunately, this draft doesn’t have top talent at the quarterback position. It remains to be seen how it all shakes out, but it appears to be that dreaded “weak quarterback class”. Now, many said that about the 2017 class and they turned out pretty damn well so far so we will obviously have to wait and see.
