The Broncos are behind. They don’t even pick until rd 3 next year and they will be paying Russell Wilson a monster contract next Spring so money will be tight. No way is he playing in a contract year.

They also will lose one of DreMont Jones and/or Bradley Chubb. And Jeudy will be asking for $20+ million too bc he will be eligible to get a new contract.

They also have a 30 year old tackle and no real RT to speak of next Spring. Bolles has 2 years left after this season and will be entering his contract year turning 32. Denver will have a first rd pick at that point but good LT’s are very difficult to find bc they aren’t available often. So Denver might be giving up more picks to trade up for one in the draft.

Denver not having a 1st rd pick or a 2nd next year is going to hurt. Paton has shown no signs of getting a difference maker after the early 2nd rd thus far.

It’s harder when well run teams like the Chiefs have tons of draft picks 2 years in a row and draft well. They also have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.
