This mock was built with originality and sightful info that I gathered the entity of the offseason. Broncos Country should be grateful to have insiders like Benjamin Albright, who provides a sense of clarity when everything else is clustered, ala the potential Charles selection.

Some of these picks were made out of prediction, some were made out of need with a hint of best player available. Fit in the Fangio/Shurmur schematics here also played a part.

This Broncos defense definitely improved in this draft, adding multiple linebackers, cornerbacks, and a couple of edge rushers. The addition of  JOK could be the answer for AFC West stud tight ends, Travis Kelce and Darren Waller.

Javonte Williams is a powerhouse and will have a year to prepare to hit the ground running in 2022. Offensive tackle Liam Eichenberg should be the future at right tackle as well.

The addition of Williams and Eichenberg will potentially allow the Broncos to free up 20 million in cap space in 2022. Furthermore, heading into the 2022 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos would also have multiple second and fourth-round picks. This would give Paton the ability to manipulate the draft in whichever way he desires.
