The Denver Broncos could target a number of surprise positions with their top pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. What might George Paton have up his sleeve?
The Denver Broncos have an interesting couple of weeks ahead.
General manager George Paton has addressed the team’s primary need for 2022, acquiring MVP candidate Russell Wilson in a blockbuster trade with the Seattle Seahawks.
Beyond that, Paton has added to the team via free agency by going out and signing players like Randy Gregory to fortify the pass rush as well as DJ Jones to boost a defensive line that lost Shelby Harris in the Russell Wilson trade.
Even after the moves made to upgrade the roster in the 2022 offseason thus far, it could be argued the Broncos still have needs at linebacker, tight end, edge rusher, and right tackle.
In reality, the Broncos have all 11 starters on either side of the ball already on the roster and if there were a game this weekend, I think they’d be confident with the group they put out there.
With no picks until 64 overall in this draft, it’s crucial for the Broncos to feel confident about where the roster is going into this Draft, which could lead to some surprise positions targeted earlier than people might think.
What position groups could the Broncos target early on in the 2022 NFL Draft that would surprise a large majority of the fan base?
Let’s take a look at a handful of position groups you might not be taking early in your Broncos mock drafts now but that the team could be looking at with one of their top two picks.
