Having a couple of former first-round picks come through the system in Teddy Bridgewater and Jameis Winston, that played a factor as well.

But as far as the NFL draft is concerned, never has Sean Payton used a first-round pick at the position or second-round pick at the position as a head coach in the league.

George Payton has done it a couple of times.

Christian Ponder,

back in 2011, Teddy Bridgewater in 2015.

So there's some precedence there, but these two guys, it would be a first for Peyton.

And the reason for that is just to flip up a little bit.

And if you're watching the podcast on YouTube, you can see and follow along with this process as we go.

So we're going to get this draft started and we are going to allow for potential trade scenarios in this because I feel like the Denver Broncos, they could very well be a trade down candidate in the first round.

Now, they could also be a trade up candidate, which you don't really get those kind of opportunities in most mock draft simulators.

But we're going to try to find a trade.

that the Broncos can move down in the first round a few spots and still manage to get a a possible second round pick in the mix here because I think that's what this team really needs to add so as you can see with all these draft offers these trade offers that came in nobody's offering anything that involves a second round pick in the 2024 draft so what I want to do
