This mock draft is heavy on the offensive side of the ball, but the Broncos have been terrible on offense. They need guys in the trenches and they need playmakers on the outside.

It wouldn’t surprise me if three of the Broncos’ first four picks were on offense, even if they don’t take a quarterback in the first round.

If the value is there, I could see the Broncos going with a defensive lineman in the first round, or they could look at someone like Arizona State’s Renell Wren in the third, Khalen Saunders in the fourth, or Daylon Mack in the fourth.

There are a variety of IDL options for the Broncos in this draft class and this won’t be the last mock draft I do, but this was how it fell with the board I was presented with on The Draft Network.

This draft class would substantially improve the Broncos’ offense and give the team a future at the quarterback position.
