Updated 2018 Denver Broncos mock draft: Finding the missing pieces, and how the Broncos can get back into the Super Bowl hunt…
It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for another Denver Broncos mock draft update.
At this point, we have no idea what the Broncos are going to do or, maybe better said, what they’re going to be able to do in free agency, but everything hinges on the decision made by Kirk Cousins and where he will spend the next five or six years of his playing career.
