The Denver Broncos are causing a stir just days before the NFL Draft, as they hold the 20th overall pick on Thursday night, positioned one pick ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This strategic spot has drawn significant attention from multiple teams eyeing a trade.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Denver has been actively fielding calls from franchises interested in trading for the spot. The speculation is rampant that these teams are eager to leapfrog the Steelers for drafting a quarterback, given Pittsburgh's uncertain situation under center.
The Steelers' current quarterback lineup includes Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson, with Aaron Rodgers also making headlines amid ongoing but unhurried free agency talks. Meanwhile, the Steelers have been linked to several potential draft selections, including Shedeur Sanders from Colorado. Former Ole Miss quarterback, Jaxson Dart, is another contender who has been mentioned as a potential first-round acquisition.
As for the Broncos, they addressed their quarterback needs by drafting Bo Nix in the first round last year. This year, they come armed with seven selections, offering them plenty of leverage as they strategize their draft actions, including the possibility of trading their coveted 20th overall choice.
