Broncos' Payton & Paton: Drafting Success in 2nd Round

0:00On April 16th, Bronkel's Haycoach Sean Payton and General Manager George Patton are gearing up for their fourth draft together, but without a first-round pick after trading for White Receiver Jalen Waddle from the Dolphins. Their first election comes at number 62 in the second round, and they're staying cool about it. Dave nailed picks in this range before, like outside linebacker Nick Bonito, White Receiver Marvin Mims Jr., and running back RJ Harvey, all. Grab between picks 60 and 64. Patton says their expectations stay high, because this draft has solid talent right where they're looking. Fans and the team see the impact of building on strengths, instead of just filling holes. Payton stresses vision and scouting, picturing how a player fits long-term, even if they start on special teams before becoming starters. Now, with two fourth rounders, one fifth round pick, and three seventh rounders, they've got flexibility to trade up in the second round, though. Jumping to the first seems unlikely.

1:00Their process keeps evolving, and they feel more prepped than ever. Draftmites just a week out, so they're still grinding tape to nail every scenario. No surprises. This results they keep the roster stacking up, strong.
