The Denver Broncos have a ton of picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, especially early. Let’s have some fun with a 2020 mock draft.

The Denver Broncos have a lot of draft picks to use in 2020, so 2020 mock draft season is going to be a lot of fun.

At 2-6, the Broncos are among the league’s worst teams record-wise, but despite the frustrations that come along with losing, this team has quite a bit going for it.

The Broncos have a really good defense, which has seen a number of players step up and really eliminate needs going forward, provided these players can maintain their high level of play.

Players like inside linebacker Alexander Johnson, nose tackle Mike Purcell, defensive lineman DeMarcus Walker (after two underwhelming years), cornerback De’Vante Bausby, and outside linebacker Malik Reed look like keepers.

Offensively, the Broncos have seen tremendous growth from Courtland Sutton and they have one of the best young running back duos in the NFL in Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman.

First-round pick Noah Fant has struggled some with drops, but his potential has flashed and hopes are still high for him going forward.

The Broncos have Drew Lock in place as the hopeful quarterback of the future, but can he be the guy? We’ll find out as 2019 progresses, although not on the timeline everyone necessarily wants.

The Broncos are not wandering around in darkness as many fans have made it seem. There’s plenty to be excited about with this team, and hopefully, the 2020 NFL Draft can provide even more excitement.

Let’s take a look at a scenario for the Broncos with their five top 100 picks and seven picks in the top four rounds.
