This draft class has been heavy on the offensive side of the ball, but the Broncos’ offense has been unbelievably maddening over the past four years, so perhaps it’s necessary.

The value of a guy like Bryce Love in the sixth round is something John Elway should not pass on if given the chance.

Coming back from a knee injury, Love is expected to be ready at some point in August or September and has speed to burn.

He struggled in his final season at Stanford but showed in his junior year that he is capable of being a big play back.

I don’t care if the Broncos take Love a round earlier, even. He’s got such potential and despite his injury and down senior season, it would be a shame to see him go day three to another team when this is such great value and high reward/low-risk move.
