Denver is gearing up for an exciting time in the world of football, with the 2025 NFL Draft just days away. The Broncos are in a strong position, holding a total of seven draft picks, including three that fall within the top 100 selections.
The team’s first round pick, No. 20 overall, has a rich history, with notable previous selections including stars like Steve Atwater and Noah Fant. Recent players chosen at this spot have shown promise, from Troy Fautanu in 2024, to Kenny Pickett in 2022. Looking at the stats, the 20th pick has produced multiple Pro Bowl selections, highlighting its potential for impactful players.
Moving to the second round, the No. 51 overall pick has also yielded successful Broncos’ selections, including Clinton Portis. This pick has historically seen players like A.J. Brown earn Pro Bowl nods, showing that the Broncos could find a hidden gem here as well.
The third round at No. 85 and beyond will be essential as the Broncos look to enhance their roster with more talent. Previous picks like Jeremy LeSueur didn’t quite pan out, but others have had varying success, indicating that Denver will be hopeful for a stronger outcome this year.
General Manager George Paton expressed confidence in their strategy, noting that there isn’t a significant drop in quality between the top picks. He hinted at the search for unique talents within this year’s pool, likening it to a hunt for the mythical Loch Ness Monster. As he put it, the draft is still a learning process, yet the excitement of adding new players lingers in the air.
As the Broncos prepare for the draft, fans await with anticipation to see which new faces will join the team in hopes of a brighter future.
