Upon seeing Mel Kiper Jr.’s latest ESPN mock draft, I wondered if he was mocking Broncos Country. At No. 12, the Broncos select Quinyon Mitchell. Holy Toledo. Mitchell is faster than fiber optics –…
Denver Broncos general manager George Paton speaks during a press conference at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024.
There is no question the Broncos need another cornerback. But it would speak to a flawed process if the pick goes this way in the first round. We have been told on multiple occasions this offseason by general manager George Paton that Riley Moss is “a starter in this league.” The Broncos traded up for the Iowa cornerback a year ago, swapping pick No. 108 and a 2024 third-rounder to select Moss 83rd overall.
Of course, the quarterback makes this first-round pick a magnet for interest. That will be addressed in this space. But the larger issue with taking a corner is that this roster screams with needs at edge rusher and tight end. Cornerback comes off as a luxury pick. Want to help Surtain? Sign a modest veteran like Levi Wallace, who is visiting the Broncos on Friday, and improve the pass rush.
No matter what term is applied, the Broncos are in the process of a reboot or rebuild in hopes of staging a revival. Most sportsbooks believe they will win five or six games in 2024. This seems like the final thud in this eight-year slide. A rebound depends on hitting on second- and third-day picks. Keep missing on those and you become the Rockies.cannot fail in the first round. It is the nitromethane to fuel their race back to relevance.
Part of the concern with fans — not the current regime — is the franchise’s ugly history. Not only have the Broncos used 13 starters at QB since Peyton Manning, but their results on first-round quarterbacks are unnerving. Tommy Maddox, Jay Cutler, Tim Tebow and Paxton Lynch combined for a 26-33 record with 81 touchdowns, 59 interceptions and a single playoff victory.
