Mocking the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft

Doing my best at predicting the entire first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

We have finally made it to the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Weeks of speculation are now over and teams will make selections that could change the future of their franchise for better or for worse. The Denver Broncos currently own the 12th overall selection and are in the market for a quarterback. Will they trade up to get their guy or trade back, add extra picks, and still get their quarterback?

Let’s find out! Chicago, you’re on the clock.

Broncos fans are hoping the team trades down in the first round

Broncos fans are hoping the team trades down in the first round

If you ask Denver Broncos fans - and we did - they prefer the team trade down away from their 12th overall pick.

The Denver Broncos will start the 2024 NFL Draft with the 12th overall selection in the first round, but there is a good chance they move from there. In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, I asked fans which of the three options head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton have with that first round pick. Should the team stand pat, trade up, or trade back and there was a clear winner on this one:...

Horse Tracks: Broncos Country, it’s officially Draft Day!

Today is the day Broncos Country has been waiting for ever since the regular season ended. It’s Draft Day—the ultimate opportunity to make the Denver Broncos better than they have been for ages.

Good morning, Broncos Country.

It’s been a long time since the Denver Broncos have been relevant. They were able to raise the Lombardi Trophy for a third time after defeating the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50—but that was a long time ago—eight years ago to be precise. A fond yet very distant memory.

Since then, the franchise has been floating around in the abyss. There hasn’t...

Broncos Country will have to trust in Sean Payton on Draft night

Broncos Country will have to trust in Sean Payton on Draft night

Only Sean Payton knows what will happen at the draft, and that’s just fine.

It takes arrogance to be an NFL head coach. Sean Payton has that in spades for the Denver Broncos.

It’s that arrogance that will allow Payton to fully believe in whoever the Broncos choose to be their QB in 2024. Whether they trade up in the draft, or back, or stand pat, Sean Payton will come away from the first round believing he did exactly what he needed to do to make the Broncos a contender.

When Ian and I discussed the possibilities for the Broncos...

The No Bull Denver Broncos Draft Preview

The Denver Broncos have x picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. Here are my thoughts, analysis, and arm-chair general management thoughts on what they should do.

Broncos Country, let’s get fired up for this year’s draft! For the first time in ages, the team has early picks that are going to hopefully lead to major upgrades in the roster. They need help in many areas and honestly have to get some big wins in the draft if they want to get back to winning football shortly.

Make no mistake that this year’s draft is going to happen based on the...

Denver Broncos have third-worst roster heading into 2024 NFL Draft, highlighting needs

Tomorrow night, the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off with the first round.

And because they went on a run in the middle of last season, the Denver Broncos pick No. 12 overall.

While the obvious biggest need on the team is at quarterback, the Broncos will likely miss out on the top-4 QBs. That’s the bad news.

The good news is it opens Denver up to take a possible great player at a number of other needy positions.

The 2024 NFL Draft is key for Denver Broncos moving forward

QB or not QB? That is the question.

Here are all of the players being mocked to the Denver Broncos with their first round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

All signs point towards a quarterback for the Denver Broncos, with Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy and Oregon’s Bo Nix leading the way. Interestingly enough, many mock drafters are ignoring Denver’s critical need at quarterback and going in a different direction.
