The Denver Broncos have ample 2020 NFL Draft currency to move up and down the board, securing players that fill their primary remaining needs.

The Denver Broncos led by general manager John Elway have done a tremendous job of filling needs in the 2020 offseason so far, and we haven’t even reached the 2020 NFL Draft yet.

Armed with 10 selections in the upcoming draft, the Broncos are poised to move up and down the board as they please, targeting players they feel can make an immediate difference in 2020.

The trick is identifying those players, and that’s what we’re here for.

With the Broncos’ 2020 free agency haul, their primary remaining needs are wide receiver, cornerback, and depth or upgrades on the offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, and safety.

At this point, it would almost be a shocker if the Broncos didn’t come away from the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft with a wide receiver, but will they be in position to get one of the ‘top three’ guys?

Those top three players are Alabama’s Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy along with Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb. All three of those players have the chance to be tremendous in the pros, but they are far from the only guys capable of making a major difference in the NFL.

Picking 15th overall in the first round, the Broncos should have options to move back if those top three receivers are gone and re-evaluate their options later in the first round.

Will we see them go after an offensive weapon two years in a row with their top pick?

Let’s take a look at a scenario put together using the trade features on the NFL Mock Draft Database mock draft simulator.
