The Denver Broncos were blown out on Saturday by the Buffalo Bills and despite multiple teams winning over the week to bring the total number of 5-9 teams to six, Denver would pick later than all of them due to strength of schedule.
Only one other team has a tough strength of schedule than the Broncos and that is the 1-13 New York Jets who have faced an even tougher gauntlet of games in 2020 than Denver has.
There are 13 teams that have a 5-9 record or worse, which means Denver would hold the 13th overall pick if the season if the season ended now. With the way this 2020 rollercoaster is going, I could see Denver both winning out and losing out at this point so who knows where they’ll end up when its all said and done.
Here is the current draft order according to Tankathon for the first 15 picks.
