That’s a pretty great looking draft haul and as of right now, the Broncos have some flexibility with what they can do here.
There are talks that they will move one of those fifth round picks potentially for Washington Redskins safety/linebacker Su’a Cravens. Though Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said they are not trading Cravens, Mike Klis has reported those talks are not dead.
The Broncos could also utilize some of their mid-round picks to move up in the first or second round, or they could trade those picks off for future picks as well.
This is a critical offseason for the Broncos to reload and rebuild their roster, so all 11 of these picks are going to be critical. John Elway has not done a great job hitting on offensive draft picks in specific, so this draft class should be expected to lean a little heavier on the offensive side.
