The 2024 NFL Draft is in the books, and this year’s Denver Broncos draft class has the Let’s Talk Broncos crew feeling the most optimistic they’ve felt about a class since 2021.

Below, you can find links to all of our post-draft content, including articles breaking down the Bo Nix and Jonah Elliss selections, as well as video analysis and reactions to the Jonah Elliss, Troy Franklin, Kris Abrams-Draine, Audric Estimé, Devaughn Vele, and Nick Gargiulo picks.


1st Round, Pick 12: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon

The Denver Broncos and Sean Payton staked their future on Bo Nix with this selection. No matter your opinion of the Oregon quarterback, we can all agree this path will be more interesting than one featuring Jarrett Stidham in a starring role.

But was it the right choice? Our own Frankie Abbott responds in his reaction:


3rd Round, Pick 76: Jonah Elliss, EDGE, Utah

Last year, the Denver Broncos boasted one of the league’s worst pass rushes. They’re taking a solid swing at improving it here, with the selection of Jonah Elliss.

Our own Frankie Abbott details what Jonah Elliss can bring to the Denver Broncos, while Joey Richards and Zach Segars go in-depth on the Elliss selection and give some thoughts on the Bo Nix pick in the video below.


4th Round, Pick 102: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon

The start of the fourth round saw the Denver Broncos gamble by trading up for Oregon WR Troy Franklin, who was the favorite target of Bo Nix in college.

Here, Joey Richards and Zach Segars talk about Troy Franklin, what he could bring to the Broncos, his fit with the team, and whether or not Denver gave up too much to trade up for him.


5th Round, Picks 145 and 147: Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri; Audric Estimé, RB, Notre Dame

The fifth round featured plenty of fireworks for Broncos Country. The Denver Broncos came away with draft steals, snagging Kris Abrams-Draine and Audric Estimé, and made maybe their best move of the entire offseason by trading for John Franklin-Myers.

Joey Richards and Zach Segars analyze all those moves:


7th Round, Picks 235 and 256: Devaughn Vele, WR, Utah; Nick Gargiulo, IOL, South Carolina

As the Denver Broncos closed their draft with the selections of Devaughn Vele and Nick Gargiulo, we wrapped our draft coverage with this summative draft recap that also focuses on the Broncos’ seventh-round selections.
