The Denver Broncos roster needs more talented depth which means they need to find more draft picks through a trade
There’s a lot of interesting angles being talked about when it comes to the Denver Broncos: Russel Wilson to Pittsburgh (makes sense), which QB will the Broncos draft (McCarthy seems a popular name currently), and how the 2023 draft class of the Broncos was the worst in the NFL (not sure how you decide that without having 3 years of career data to go off of).
I think this draft class in 2024 is going to be absolutely key to the short-term future of the Denver Broncos under Sean Payton. This team needs an answer for the quarterback position and it needs to continue (or start depending on your half-baked perspective) building the roster up with more talent on both sides of the ball.
My No Bull take is that the Broncos need to manufacture some extra draft capital by trading away some of their starters from last year. If they can find a willing partner (like the 49ers who make a sensible partner for a trade of Patrick Surtain, II.), they can and should consider trading for some extra shots early in the draft. This team needs more youthful talent given that the Wilson and Payton trades drained multiple years of high draft picks.
