What are the latest 2019 NFL Draft rumors surrounding the Denver Broncos? Is a quarterback unlikely in round one? Is Devin Bush a foregone conclusion?

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway is putting together his final plans for the 2019 NFL Draft. He even postponed his pre-draft press conference on Monday and everyone’s excited to (possibly) find out why.

Maybe he just had a bad bowl at Chipotle, or maybe Elway is dying to keep a quarterback on his first-round board and has to convince the rest of the draft room to do it.

The Broncos acquired Joe Flacco from the Baltimore Ravens in a trade this offseason, an indication (in my eyes) that the team is moving away from quarterbacks in 2019 — at least early on — and looking to build around the former Super Bowl MVP.

So what are Elway and new head coach Vic Fangio planning for the 2019 NFL Draft? Are they going to put a player behind Flacco as his successor in this draft class, or will they kick that can another year down the road?

Will they use their top pick on an off-ball linebacker? Will someone like Ed Oliver fall?

There are so many options for the Broncos right now, it will make your head spin.
