2020 NFL Draft: Denver Broncos team preview before the draft
The Denver Broncos have improved on defense but in the draft how can they improve their offense for their new franchise quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft?
The Denver Broncos found their franchise quarterback, Drew Lock after drafting him in the second-round in last year’s draft. They also found another star last season in wide receiver Courtland Sutton after Emmanuel Sanders to the San Francisco 49ers. It seems as though the Broncos will get Sutton a running mate in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Broncos decided to trade back in the draft last year, taking Iowa tight end Noah Fant. Imagine this team with another receiving weapon, the offense can be a powerful threat. They have been rumored to be enamored with the wide receivers in this class, and could even trade up in the draft to get one.
The Broncos signed former Chargers star running back Melvin Gordon with Phillip Lindsay and Devontae Booker already on the roster at running back. They did, however, pull off two trades that should really help out their defense, getting defensive end Jurrell Casey and cornerback A.J. Bouye. With Bradley Chubb coming back from his torn-ACL, this defense is taking a step in the right direction.
