WHAT IS THE VISION FOR DENVER?
Happy 420 Friends! I decided to partake responsibly and legally to build my perfect Denver Broncos draft. Also — Nuggets looking to go up 2-0 tonight!!
The Broncos are in a unique situation where most of the roster is already filled out which is great because we know there are some positions we need to address. Defensive line, linebacker, tight end, versatile offensive lineman, skill position playmakers. That’s it, that’s the list. I’m personally in the camp we get a year ahead of cornerback with multiple guys hitting free agency after this season. Trading down a few spots to move up later in the draft is something George Paton is always looking to do and would be ideal in this scenario.
Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri 6’2 237 — LB #7 — Grade: 79.32 Comp: Malik Jefferson
Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri 6’4 313 — DT #10 — Grade: 75.06 Comp: Carlos Watkins
Eli Raridon, TE, Notre Dame 6’6 245 — TE #3 — Grade: 79.49 Comp: Kyle Pitts lite
Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington 6’3 196 — CB TBD — Grade: Not Final Comp: Pat Surtain II lite
Dillon Bell, WR, Georgia 6’0 209 — WR #25 — Grade: 71.83 Comp: Victor Cruz lite
Febechi Nwaiwu, OG/OT, Oklahoma 6’4 319 — IOL #18 — Grade: 76.28 Comp: Mike McGlynn
Chip Trayanum, RB, Toledo 5’10 224 — RB #14 — Grade: 73.34 Comp: LaMont Jordan
WHEN YOU FIND THE PERFECT COMP
It’s always fun when you come across a perfect match. I was a fan of DJ Chark and I’m a fan of Bryce Lance. He graded out as my WR6. Yeah.
FOR THE GIRLS — FINAL RANKINGS SOON
It’s officially draft week girls, and the biggest question in the room is: which NFL Draft attendee, if any, will NOT hear their name called on Thursday?
The 2026 NFL Draft is in Pittsburgh (a city with 400+ bridges!) and the first round will begin at 8pm ET.
It’s not a good look to be left in “the green room” on draft night. The cameras are all over you and the wait can be brutal. Thankfully, the NFL changed the time for each first round pick this year from 10 to 8. Hopefully this move can shave an hour off of what becomes a very long evening.
With only 17 attendees, it’s hard to see any of these guys missing the cut. Ty Simpson is a wildcard — will a second QB go in round one? If so, look for the Texans to move out and the Cardinals to trade up to pick #28.
