The Broncos only had five picks going into the 2023 NFL Draft, and they had no picks in the 1st and 2nd round due to the Russell Wilson trade and Sean Payton acquisition. The Broncos ended up making five picks but they maneuvered their way around and ending up trading into the second round. Here are their picks for the 2023 Draft and some analysis for each one...
-2nd Round (#63 overall):Marvin Mims, WR, Oklahoma: Mims is a burner and speed guy who can stretch the defense and provide a deep threat to open up other elements of the passing game. He can also return punts and kicks. His selection puts KJ Hamler and Montrell Washington's status on this roster in serious jeopardy.
-3rd Round (#67 overall): Drew Sanders, LB, Arkansas: Sanders was mocked to go in the late 1st round in a lot of the projections, so to get him here is a great value. Sanders can play ILB, but he also can rush the passer, so he could be a very valuable player on the Broncos defense. He will also play special teams and play a role in improving that part of the team.
-3rd Round (#83 overall): Riley Moss, CB, Iowa: Moss was a highly productive player on Iowa's defense the last few years, and he fits a role in Denver's defense. You can never have enough CBs, and there is a chance he can play Safety too. Moss figures to play a role on special teams as well. He should be able to contribute in his first year as a Bronco.
-6th Round (#183 overall): JL Skinner, S, Boise State: Skinner is a depth player added to the secondary. He will also be asked to contribute on special teams as well. He will probably be a fringe player as far as making the main roster or practice squad, but if he does well in training camp and preseason, then he can contribute in those areas on the active roster.
-7th Round (#257 overall): Alex Forsyth, C, Oregon: Forsyth could provide depth as a backup Center this year if he makes the 53-man roster. If he doesn't, he will be a practice squad candidate.
