Broncos The Broncos head into the upcoming draft without a first-round pick, having traded it to Miami for WR Jaylen Waddle due to the current state of their roster. Denver GM George Paton outlined their preference to take high-upside players to develop into starters because of the amount of talent on the roster. “We like to draft high-trait players and maybe they lack a little polish and it’s going to take some development,” Paton said, via Mike Klis of 9News . “Sure, we’d like someone to come in and start right away but that’s not always realistic for first-, second-(round), no matter where they’re picked. It’s just hard. And with the way our team is built now, it’s going to be hard to come in and start Day 1.” Paton also downplayed the likelihood that they could move back into round one, but wouldn’t rule out a trade up on day two. “It’s unlikely. It would cost quite a haul to get up there. Most of our draft we’d have to trade. I would say it’s unlikely but we certainly could move up in the second.” Weber State OL Gavin Ortega had a 30 visit with the Broncos.
