Taking a look the Broncos projected depth chart after the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft.
The 2024 NFL Draft has come and gone and the Denver Broncos came out of this event with a first-round quarterback, a promising-looking edge rusher, a speedy and explosive wide receiver, some corner depth, a physical and powerful runner, and more much-needed depth. They also traded a future 6th-round selection to the Jets for defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers who will greatly improve their defensive line. So, overall, it was a pretty successful three days for the Broncos.
Let us take a look at how...
Which teams have been able to overcome pressure and still pass effectively 2018-2023?

Through free agency, trades and the draft, the Broncos’ run defense should be much better next season.
A commitment to fortify the run defense came more into focus over the weekend as the Broncos traded for John Franklin-Myers from the Jets and added edge rusher Jonah Elliss from Utah.
Pairing those new additions with run-stuffing specialist Malcolm Roach and veteran Angelo Blackson acquired in free agency - to join current starters D.J. Jones and Zach Allen - is going to go a long way in making Broncos’ run defense tougher.
“We wanted to be better...
The Denver Broncos wrapped up their 2024 NFL Draft class this past weekend and came away with a variety of players that will be part of how George Paton and Sean Payton look to build the team going forward.

It wasn’t raw talent that landed Oregon quarterback Bo Nix in Denver.
It’s not that he doesn’t have any. He does; a player with his statistical output in the Pac-12 (4,508 passing yards, 45 touchdowns with just three interceptions and a 77.4 completion percentage this season) certainly has God-given ability. It’s just that Nix’s physical talents – arm strength, escapability, size and strength – weren’t what Broncos head coach and de facto GM Sean Payton liked most.
The smartest guy in the room liked the fact that his 24-year-old rookie quarterback will most likely be the other smartest guy in...
