So the Broncos traded down to 20 and picked up 52 from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Count me as the number 1 person who absolutely loved that move by Elway. This is the draft to have extra picks in the 20-60 range, as you’ll see.
Below you will find the players I spent time studying since the 2018 season ended. They’re ranked by the order I’d take them in, by round. My criteria when evaluating them was strictly what I think they can do for the Denver Broncos.
