With the 76th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, MI, the Denver selected Utah’s Jonah Elliss, making the outside linebacker officially a Bronco.
Leading up to the draft, Elliss didn’t seem to have much indication that he’d be flying out to Denver any time soon. The amount of communication seemed to be the same as all the other teams on his radar.
“Obviously I met...

So why did we go after Elliss out of Utah with the 76th pick in...

The Broncos react to their drafting of Utah EDGE Jonah Elliss

The second and third rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft are when the great drafting teams start to stand out.
The second day of the NFL Draft is just as important as the first. (Thanks, John Madden).
Teams that pick on both days have the chance to shift their roster, fill potential holes or pick for the best player on their board.

The Denver Broncos spent their first round draft pick on Bo Nix out of the University of Oregon. Let’s dig into why the team went this direction.
Denver needed a starting quarterback...that’s why.

In the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night, the Denver Broncos made a significant move by selecting Bo Nix from Oregon as the No. 12 overall pick, adding him to their quarterback roster.
Teams used the first round to fill their biggest roster needs. However, a few teams made big reaches in round one of the draft. While Nix was deemed a fit for the Broncos, the decision to select him 12th overall is questionable.
