Of course, the Denver Broncos are revealing their brand new uniforms on Monday, and there's been some leaks and some controversy surrounding that over the weekend, but
This is a big week overall for the team. Not only are you getting new uniforms, but a brand new quarterback expected to be added to the mix at some point here in this year's draft. Of course, that's the way things are trending. That's kind of the way things have been shaping up over the course of the offseason as the Broncos really passed on every opportunity that they had to add quarterbacks up to this point now. They could still add somebody or Ryan Tannehill still available. Zach Wilson could be available in a trade. Nothing's really going to move the needle though, as far as a franchise quarterback option, then drafting somebody. And especially when we're talking about drafting somebody high. So on today's episode of lockdown Broncos, we are going to go through a full mock draft scenario for the Denver Broncos.
And our goal really it's, Got to be to get a quarterback, right? It's got to be to at least come away with somebody that we believe can start in the NFL going forward. And Broncos general manager George Payton said recently at the team's pre-draft press conference, he said that they believe this quarterback class is seven or eight guys deep. They believe that a lot of guys from this class can play. And I think Sean Payton has a history of not necessarily arrogance when it comes to whoever he wants at the QB position. But look, he put together a lot of winning teams in New Orleans with the Saints without having to ever spend a first or second round pick on the quarterback position. Now, Drew Brees played a huge factor in that.
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. It would be historic for Peyton and for the Denver Broncos. If they move up even just a little bit, it will be the highest drafted quarterback in franchise history, topping potentially Jay Cutler, who was the 11th overall pick back in 2006.
So without further ado, Broncos country, let's get into this simulation of We're going to use the NFL mock draft database simulator here. And the reason for that is just to flip up a little bit. You never know where consensus rankings, things like that. You just want to go into it without any bias. And I want you to be able to see my thought process through this. So if you're listening to the podcast, I'll take you through a few different players that were available at the time of selection. 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.
