The Denver Broncos dominated the first two days of the 2020 NFL Draft with back-to-back wide receivers and one of the top steals of round three.

The 2020 NFL Draft has been one of the most unique experiences with everything being done remotely and with no personal interaction, but the lack of bear hugs for Commissioner Roger Goodell has not prevented John Elway and the Denver Broncos from absolutely dominating.

Over the course of the last five or six months, I have put together a wide variety of mock drafts for the Denver Broncos.

Trade-up scenarios, trade-down scenarios, offense in the first round, defense in the first round. With that said, the idea of taking back-to-back wide receivers was something that really started appealing to me during the 2019 college season, and has been something I’ve been favoring for months.

The first mock draft I put out with back-to-back receivers to the Broncos happened in early January when I put Henry Ruggs III and Jalen Reagor to the Broncos, and both of those guys ended up going in the top 21 selections.

Earlier in the month of April, I took a look at some of the most interesting possible wide receiver combos for the Broncos in the 2020 NFL Draft, all of which would have been 1st and 2nd-round combinations.

Needless to say, when the Broncos actually pulled the trigger on both Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler with their top two picks of the 2020 NFL Draft, I was ecstatic. The Broncos’ wide receiver room has players who will be nice depth pieces, but it lacked consistent playmakers and guys who would force defenses out of stacking the box.

Now, that’s not the case.

Although not everyone is going to agree (and that’s okay), I would argue the Denver Broncos emerged from the first two days of the draft the biggest winners in the NFL. Let’s analyze the picks.
