Broncos trade deadline recap: Did they take the right approach?
Buyers:
Not buying ahead of the deadline also shows confidence from the coaching staff in their actual roster. Besides confidence, there is a key factor that played in, if the Denver Broncos really wanted to trade for a specific player. This is Draft Capital.
At the moment, the Broncos have the following picks in the 2024 NFL Draft:
- Round 1
- Round 3 (via Saints - Sean Payton trade)
- Round 4 (via Dolphins - Bradley Chubb trade)
- Round 5
- Round 5 (via Jets - Jacob Martin trade)
- Round 6 (via 49ers - Randy Gregory trade)
Not having much Draft Capital, despite having some positions of need, limited the Broncos on buying at the deadline. I personally thought that they were at least trading a mid or late-round pick for a tight end or for a cornerback, but in the end, it comes back to the confidence from the coaching staff and front office on what the players are capable of doing.
