2019 Denver Broncos Draft Class

Here are the Broncos 2019 Draft selections....


Round 1 (#20 overall): Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
-The Broncos traded down with the Steelers and added another pick in the second round and a 2020 third round pick. I'm not totally crazy about picking a TE in the first round, but Fant is a freakish athlete and the Broncos have been in need of an explosive tight end since the days of Julius Thomas. They definitely needed more weapons on offense.

Round 2 (#41 overall): Dalton Risner, G. Kansas State
-The Broncos had a desperate need for an interior offensive lineman and they got great value by getting Risner in the 2nd round. He has been on my radar since watching him during the Senior Bowl practices, and he is from Colorado and a die-hard Broncos fan. It is a great story, and he should be a starter from day one.

Round 2 (#42 overall): Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
-The Broncos got the QB I wanted all along, and Lock falls to them in the Round 2. You have to love the value of this pick as Lock surprisingly fell out of the first round. Denver traded up with Cincy to nab Lock, and I really love this pick. I think Lock can sit for a year behind Flacco and hopefully take over in 2020.

Round 3 (#71 overall) Dre'Mont Jones, DL, Ohio State
-The Broncos grabbed Jones in the 3rd round and he is a player who I didn't know too much about until he visited Denver in the weeks leading up to the draft. The best part about his skillset is that he can play both DE and then move inside to play DT. That is a huge asset.

Round 5 (#156 overall) Justin Hollins, LB, Oregon
-Hollins will come in and a have a chance to backup one of the OLB spots, but Vic Fangio said he will also get a look at ILB. Hollins will also be asked to make an impact on special teams as well.

Round 6 (#187 overall) Juwann Winfree, WR, Colorado
-The Broncos took a local CU product with this pick. Winfree has a chance to be a Practice Squad player if things go his way in training camp. It will be hard for him to make the 53 man roster this year with the loaded group of young receivers in Denver.
