After finishing with a losing record in back-to-back seasons with Russell Wilson at quarterback, the Broncos released Wilson in March and will go in a new direction in 2024.
Denver’s first pick in this year’s draft is currently No. 12, although HC Sean Payton said the Broncos could trade up to select a quarterback. Currently, the only QBs on the roster are Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci.
The beginning of the Sean Payton era in Denver got off to a tough start last year. The Broncos opened the season 1-5 and went on to finish 8-9 as Denver missed the playoffs for an eighth straight season. The Broncos have not reached the postseason since winning Super Bowl 50 with Peyton Manning at QB.
Denver does not have a second-round pick this year. That pick was traded to the Saints in part of the deal to hire Payton as head coach last year.
