Conspicuously absent from Denver's draft war chest is a second-round pick, which was dealt last year to the New Orleans Saints as part of the trade package to acquire Sean Payton's coaching rights.
However, this year, the arithmetic is skewed because of Denver's gaping hole at quarterback. It's fair to say that the Broncos have the worst quarterback situation in the NFL currently, with Jarrett Stidham sitting atop the depth chart and Ben DiNucci the only other signal-caller under contract. That means that Denver's draft capital this year has to be earmarked for a QB.
Now, that could be as simple as standing pat at No. If the Broncos have a first-round grade on either Nix or Penix, perhaps they'll be content with staying at No. If not, a trade-up will be required, which would force the Broncos to budget numerous picks from this year's, next year's, and possibly even 's draft war chest. Having that additional fifth- and sixth-rounder via the Jeudy trade could be a godsend, giving the Broncos more "darts" to throw at the board — to quote GM George Paton — or the means to deal and move up a little in the middle rounds if things fall a certain way and a prospect the team loves is within striking distance.
Paton's fifth- and sixth-round resume isn't so good since joining the Broncos front office in But if the draft really is — in the best sense — an educated game of crapshoot — then having more picks to play only increases the odds of the Broncos benefiting from the law of averages. What happened to their original picks, you ask? The second-rounder went to New Orleans for Payton.
The fourth went to the New York Jets in as part of the Jake Martin trade , the sixth went to the Los Angeles Rams in as part of the Kenny Young trade and the seventh went to the San Francisco 49ers in as part of the Randy Gregory trade. Denver has already made multiple pick swaps, and more trades might be on the way.
