Broncos get a player too good to pass up in new 4-round mock draft

The Broncos load up with help on offense in this new mock draft.

The Denver Broncos currently sit with the No. 3 overall pick. When the Broncos signed quarterback Russell Wilson, they could not have anticipated this team would regress the way it has. Nevertheless, the 2024 NFL draft could be a perfect opportunity to put the ills of the past behind them and draft a future.

The Broncos offense is where the work must be done so this is where we focused three of the four picks but we didn’t neglect defense and added a sleeper cornerback as well.

Look at everything the Broncos traded to the Seahawks for Russell Wilson

All the picks in the Russell Wilson trade have now been made. Here are all the players the Broncos traded to the Seahawks

One of the most highlighted trades in NFL history has finally run it’s course, as the Seattle Seahawks made all of the draft selections given to them in the trade for quarterback Russell Wilson.

It is hard to imagine that the Broncos thought they would be gift-wrapping the fifth overall pick after acquiring the franchise quarterback from Seattle. But after major struggles in his first season with Denver, that ultimately came to fruition. The Broncos can only hope it all becomes worth it with the addition of former Saints coach Sean Payton, who can come in and try to fix the embattled quarterback.

Ultimately the Seahawks landed the following pieces with the trade departure of Wilson:

-Quarterback Drew Lock

-Tight End Noah Fant

-Defensive lineman Shelby Harris (Free agent)

-2022 first round pick (9th overall): Charles Cross

-2022 second round pick (40th overall): Boye Mafe

-2022 fifth round pick  (158 overall): Tyreke Smith

-2023 first round pick (5th overall): Devon Witherspoon

-2023 second round pick (37 overall): Derick Hall

Looking back on this haul, it is hard to argue that the Seahawks did not win this trade should the trend of Wilson struggling, and the 2023 draft picks develop their high ceiling potential. Given how the Seahawks class from the year prior performed, it seems likely they will get similar production here.

Denver of course landed Russell Wilson, who hopes to turn his career around quickly so as not to sink the Denver franchise. They were also given a 2022 fourth-round pick which was spent on defensive end Eyimoa Uwazurike, who saw limited action as a rookie.

Why Kansas City Chiefs Will Win

Kansas City leads the NFL in scoring and yards, Denver is dead last in the league in scoring, and it’s not going to take much to put this away.

And the Chiefs aren’t all that bad defensively, either.

Denver is moving the ball okay at times, and it’s got the defense to keep the team in games, but it’s just not able to put the biscuit in the basket . It hasn’t been able to get to 17 points in any of the last four games and pushed past it just twice all season.

Kansas City only scored 17 once.

The Broncos aren’t converting on third downs, they’re miserable in the red zone, and the ground attack has stalled. However …

Week 14 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Denver Broncos Will Win

The defense continues to hold up.

Denver lost the last four games and eight of the last nine, but the D only gave up more than 16 points just twice all year. The pass defense is holding up well, it’s great on third downs, and it should be able to keep Patrick Mahomes from getting into a groove with anything down the field.

On the other side, Russell Wilson might be getting hammered on left and right, but he’s improving his accuracy. After not being able to do much of anything for most of the season, he hit 77% of his passes in two of the last three games.

What’s Going To Happen

Denver will rise up at home and keep this close for about a half. The offense will actually click on a few drives, the defense will do its job, and then right at the end of the first 30 minutes …

Boom, boom, book. Patrick Mahomes will hit a few quick strikes to change the tone of the game, and then the points will flow. It’s not going to be an avalanche of scoring, but it’ll be more than Denver can do.

CFN Predictions & Game Previews

Greg Dulcich makes immediate impact for Broncos

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Greg Dulcich wasted little time showing off his big-play potential now that he’s back to full strength

The Denver Broncos had high hopes for Greg Dulcich when they drafted the UCLA tight end in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft, but he started his first season on injured reserve, missing the first five games of the year.

Dulcich was activated just in time for Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and he wasted little time living up to the hype, showing off his big-play ability on a 39-yard touchdown catch from Russell Wilson.

Denver’s offense is desperate for a spark of some kind, and it looks like Dulcich might just be able to provide it, now that he’s back to full strength.
