Starting a rookie quarterback in Bo Nix, not many would have expected the Denver Broncos to have been looking likely to make the playoffs at this point in the season.
The exciting thing for their fans is that, regardless of how this season ends, they look to have found their quarterback in Nix and can now build around him in the offseason.
Round 1 (22): WR Isaiah Bond, Texas
Adding more receiving help for Nix should be the Broncos’ top priority in 2025, and Bond has been productive enough over the past two seasons to be drafted just outside the top 20. He has averaged 1.90 yards per route run or better in 2023 and 2024 and has posted 16.1 yards per catch so far this season.
Round 2 (54): TE Gunnar Helm, Texas
Helm would offer a safe pair of hands for Nix over the middle, not to mention is averaging 7.0 yards after the catch in 2024 so far. In his college career, he has dropped just two of the 70 catchable targets he has seen.
Round 3 (86): OT Blake Miller, Clemson
Miller has impressed in pass protection in 2024, earning a 79.9 PFF pass-blocking grade with just 15 pressures — none of which have been sacks — allowed from 531 pass-blocking snaps. He isn’t as impressive as a run blocker, with just a 61.1 PFF run-blocking grade in 2024, but did earn PFF run-blocking grades above 70.0 in both 2022 and 2023.
