The Goods: Who the Broncos Snagged in the 2024 Draft
The boys in orange (and a little bit of blue) used their first-round pick (number 12, to be exact) to grab quarterback sensation Bo Nix. Now, some folks say he's got the arm strength of a medieval trebuchet, others say he throws interceptions like confetti at a parade. Only time will tell, but hey, at least he'll keep things interesting!
Beyond the first round, the Broncos went on a bit of a shopping spree, picking up talent across the board. We're talking edge rusher Jonah Elliss (hopefully with a meaner streak than his grandma's fruitcake), wide receiver Troy Franklin (who, rumor has it, can outrun a cheetah...on a good day), and a handful of other intriguing prospects.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Here's the full scoop (minus the trade rumors that sound juicier than a gossip magazine):
- Round 1, Pick 12: QB Bo Nix (Oregon)
- Round 3, Pick 76: OLB Jonah Elliss (Utah)
- Round 4, Pick 102: WR Troy Franklin (Oregon)
- Round 5, Pick 145: CB Kris Abrams-Draine (Missouri)
- Round 5, Pick 147: RB Audric Estime (Notre Dame)
- Round 7, Pick 235: WR Devaughn Vele (Utah)
- Round 7, Pick 256: G Nick Gargiulo (South Carolina)
Don't Panic! A Guide to Not Overreacting to the Draft
Look, the draft is exciting, but let's be honest: some of these rookies haven't even graduated from prank wars with their dorm mates. So, here's some friendly advice:
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
- Don't Pencil Them into the Canton Hall of Fame Just Yet: Give these guys a chance to prove themselves before you start booking flights to Super Bowl LVIII.
- Remember, They're Human: There will be fumbles, there will be interceptions, there will be moments that make you want to crawl under the couch. Breathe, Broncos Country, breathe.
- Trust the Process (Maybe): We have a new coach, Sean Payton, at the helm. Now, he's got a good track record, but let's not expect miracles overnight.
But hey, if Bo Nix throws a touchdown on his first pass and they win the Super Bowl, well then, party at my place!
