Broncos Pick Up 2 Draft Picks

The Denver Broncos picked up two compensatory picks in the 3rd round of this year's draft. That is good news, unless you look at how the Broncos have drafted recently. Denver has not drafted an impact player in several years, and they have been letting their best talent slip away in free agency.

The Broncos defense looks 'not as good as last year' heading into the draft. The defensive line has taken another step back this year and two excellent defensive backs have been lost. And this after the Colts smoked them in their last two playoff games.

The Broncos have salary cap issues. And if they don't get those issues fixed soon, .500 will be looking good. The Chiefs and Raiders have Colt-like offenses this year, and the Chargers also have the talent to put up points. The Broncos better hope they can pick up some impact players on defense this year, or it could be a long season.
