After nailing most of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos return to the well one year later with seven more picks to add to the Sean Payton regime. With a quarterback now firmly in place, general manager George Paton is already teasing big moves at the April 24 draft in Green Bay.

The Broncos have a proven head coach who helped them improve on both sides of the ball in 2024. Their next step in growth is knocking off the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

Most NFL teams try to position themselves to have a viable starting option at every position going into the draft but the reality is that not all are adequately addressed and even more are filled by replacement level players.
