Good Morning Broncos Country!
Good Morning Broncos Country!
I messed around with the Pro Football Network mock draft simulator and came up with a scenario that might make sense for the Denver Broncos. It is a bit heavy on the offensive side of the ball, but the Broncos need to get QB Bo Nix as much help as possible.
I’ll have my official first-round mock draft for you all on the morning of the first round of the draft. For now, though, here’s what I came up with using the PFN Mock Draft simulator. Let me know what you think!
20. Ohio State WR, Emeka Egbuka
Egbuka feels like a Sean Payton wide receiver. He runs routes well, has good hands, blocks well, and can excel in the quick-passing game and be a high-volume pass-catcher. I think he can be a productive rookie for the Broncos and help their offense and passing game improve this upcoming season
51. Ohio State RB, TreVeyon Henderson
Getting Henderson at 51 would be amazing. He has the ‘Joker’ traits Payton is looking for and can be a dynamic playmaker for them as a runner and as a receiver. The Broncos have been missing this type of player for a while and continue to improve their offense here with Henderson
85: Oregon TE, Terrance Ferguson
I continue to improve the offense by reuniting Ferguson with Bo Nix in Denver with the Broncos. He is a big and athletic pass-catching tight end who can add some depth behind veteran Evan Engram. He’s a good athlete, and I think he can be someone who excels in the red zone with Nix like he did while at Oregon
122: Kansas RB, Devin Neal
I have the Broncos doubling up at running back and adding Kansas running back Devin Neal. I’m a big Neal fan and believe he would pair nicely with Henderson. Both have pass-catching upside but Neal excelled as a runner between the tackles. These two backs would give the Broncos a dynamic and improved running game this upcoming season
191: Texas IDL, Vernon Broughton
Finally, a defensive pick! Broughton is a big and explosive lineman who would add some depth to the Broncos’ trenches. In reality, he probably goes before the sixth round, but in this scenario, I have him going to the Broncos at 191.
197: Georgia OL, Xavier Truss
I’ll be real with you all, I don’t have much knowledge of Truss outside of him being a massive and versatile lineman. The Broncos can always use some versatile depth along the OL so I pulled the trigger. Great analysis, I know.
208: Georgia Tech TE, Jackson Hawes
I have the Broncos adding a pass-catcher at tight end, and now I have them adding a run-blocking specialist. Hawes offers little as a pass-catcher but is a nasty run-blocker, and we all know how Payton values this type of player.
