Denver Broncos NFL Draft picks 2024: Grades, fits and scouting reports
The Denver Broncos enter the 2024 NFL Draft on April 25 with eight picks over the three-day draft.
The Broncos have the No. 12 pick and are one of a handful of NFL teams searching for a franchise quarterback. The end of the short-lived Russell Wilson era in Denver created a need at the game’s most important position and left a lack of draft capital in its wake.

Head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton have said they’re open trading up to get one of the draft’s top quarterbacks if they find the right scenario. Denver’s current quarterback situation includes Jarrett Stidham, Ben DiNucci and Zach Wilson, the former Jets first-round pick acquired in a trade this week.

But that position, important as it is, represents just part of the draft puzzle for the Broncos as they enter a significant reconstruction of the roster. In addition to jettisoning Wilson, the Broncos released safety Justin Simmons, traded wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and allowed starters like linebacker Josey Jewell and center Lloyd Cushenberry to leave in free agency. Payton is in the early stages of building a new foundation. The draft is instrumental to that work.
