The Denver Broncos shook up their draft plans with a trade for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, pushing their first pick back to number 62 in the world. Second round. To map out possibilities, the Mile High Huddled Team ran 400 simulations across draft tools and had staffers vote round-by-round on the most. Common players available. This approach keeps things realistic without knowing future options up front. In the second round at Pick 62, they went with linebacker Jay Golday from Cincinnati, passing on running back Mike Washington, Jr. from Arkansas. Then in the fourth round, Pick 108 and 101 landed safety bud Clark from TCU and defensive lineman Kayla Proctor from, southeastern Louisiana. Staffers picked two safeties and lineman types here, focusing on speed and pass rush upside. Fans and analysts note these choices at athletic linebackers in ball-hawking defensive backs, addressing death behind guys like Justin Strohnad.

1:04Golday brings slot coverage skills, while Clark's instincts shine despite his size. The picks fit Denver's knee for versatile defenders and a late star draft. Later rounds brought more help. Titan Oscar Delp from Georgia at Pick 170 in the fifth, followed by three. Seventh rounder's linebacker Jimmy Roeder from Michigan at 246. Titan will Cachmerec from Ohio State at 256. And running back Noah Wittingson from Oregon at 257. These target blockers, projects, and a tough runner for depth. Overall, this mock-all bolsters the defense and adds developmental tight ends and backs, setting the Broncos up to build around their new receiver. Without early picks.
