Going to be fun doing a mock draft every Monday for the Broncos.
It isnt to get picks right but present different names and different ways things can go.

I saw this thing about on your birthday to take your picture with your favorite games equal to your age.
So, I did it this year. Me with my 33 favorite games currently on the day I turn 33.

Denver exceeded expectations as a young team with a bunch of dead cap. They have a lot of holes, but they have a bright future ahead of them.

10 runs plays to 12 pass plays (one Nix scramble) on the first two drives. 1 run play 12 pass plays (also includes a Nix scramble) over the last three drives of the first half.
Run was working yet Payton went away from it. This has been a common theme in the first half this season.

This is too funny to me. The fact that I played Happy Day in Hell 269 times since April makes it even funnier. Almost 10 hours of Spotify playing on September 8th.

It has been a long journey to improve my mental and physical health this year. While mental status is still TBD, the physical changes have been great.
Down to 274 pounds from 356, and bought size 36 pants that are a little loose, when I was tighly fitting size 42s. Down two shirt sizes as well.

The Broncos are in control of the 7th seed in the playoffs. If they win out, they're in.
Can move up with some help, starting with the Ravens beating the Chargers tomorrow (with Denver having another game vs. LAC).
Keep winning, and they're in. That comes first.

Nike Bonitto, with 10 sacks, is obviously having a great season. What's intriguing for the Broncos and scary for other teams is he still has a lot of room to grow.

The Broncos must extend Garett Bolles. The OL is playing good, if not great, football. Keep the starting unit intact (maybe try and uograde at center) but add weapons at TE, WR, and RB.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Houston is poised to win their division and be a top 4 seed.
Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers are the teams that stand in the way of Denver being higher than the seventh seed.
Could still happen with seven games left.

While the Chargers beating the Bengals helped Denver be more in control for the seventh seed, I am greedy. Wanted a Bengals win to help the Broncos get a chance at the sixth seed, with adenver having to play them both.
Oh well, still worked out well for them.

Fine with first pick for the Broncos. Wouldn't be surprised if thats an up there option for them.
But a CB 2nd is questionable. Surtain is locked up. Moss has been playing quite well. McMillian has been struggling of late but still solid. Moss and McMillian are cost controlled for two more years.

The NYT have the Broncosnwith a 43% chance to make the playoffs. With games against the Chargers Colts and Bengals left, they are in great position to essentially control their fate.
But, they'll need help to be more than 7th seed.

The Broncos have dominated in the trenches almost every single game. Their OL is a top 10 unit at the very least (I'd say top 5 but not top 3) while their DL/E has been top 5 (I'd say top 3) this season.
I don't think any other team can have the same thing said about them, even the four mentioned.

Do the #Broncos have the best combination of OL and DL play in football this season?
I think there is a serious argument for it
Eagles
Chiefs
Lions
Ravens
Anyone else in the convo?

I'm legitimately excited to be watching over this game again.
