Jonah Ellis is quite a sneaky pick by our Broncos !!! Very athletic and able to sack the QB more than they’ll like, which is perfect for us. I am very happy with this pick. 37 Tackles and 12 Sacks. Outstanding !!!

[@onelove2349]

16 tfl in only 10 games too

[@mirandap.l.8424]

I feel like Sean is coaching everyone, including media and fans 😂 I dig it! I can listen to him all day and pick his brain. Everything he says is intentional.

[@Beavis1]

Payton looks like he's starting to have fun again.

[@JayJohns03]

Russ is gone

[@ogkylep]

Saw his 3 cone at his pro day was the fastest by an edge ever at 6.69 👀 dude is elite in short area quickness. Could be a monster with some more size

[@kapalua7]

Sean, Oregon WR Troy Franklin, remarkably, is still available. I’d grab him today. He was projected to be late first or early second round pick. The kid is blazing fast and has great hands. Any questions about his talent should go directly to Bo Nix!

[@peytonmanning5404]

maybe they passed on him cause hes similar to mims

[@yaboiblue]

​@@peytonmanning5404he's similar to mims in facial features and nothing else really

[@peytonmanning5404]

@@yaboiblue nah he actually is pretty similair in play style considering strenghts and weeknesses both are fast, smoth runners who never ran too many "real" routes, but are greta atheletes.

You’re a wizard!

[@Redninja27YGF]

Haha fr nice Call.

[@bridger1172]

Paton and Peyton’s relationship seems really great and the broncos as a whole has been impressing me keep it up.

[@TT79-]

Good pick. Not having a second hurts. This draft showed how important having a 1 and 2 are.

[@kingl77lking64]

Your spot on, we had to eat it, however I'm glad we were able to just stay discipline and not trade anything to go up. We should be fine in the future besides another possible yr of Wilson's money we are finally out of that mess.

[@ManuelCorrea-jr3ds]

He was my Guy,,I wanted him for Rams.... NFL pedigree his dad was Luther Ellis lions... Now you are my second favorite team

[@kingnb]

Good pick this 2024 draft season good job management for picking a very outstanding QB and hope he play very good like Payton,Elway.👍👍👍 go Broncos🐎 let win another super bowl shall we

[@julieschiessler4276]

Broncos goooo crazy this season we all know it

[@rockstarg57]

He's got that Dwight Freeney spin down packed

Bo Nix será el próximo QB Franquicia *VAMOS BRONCOS* 🏈🐎

[@user-yd7eo9hd5e]

Good pickup for us

[@broncosfan99]

I always watch the second, third and fourth rounds because some really good (especially defensive) players can fall into these rounds. Maybe never the flashiest but some solid starters or rotational picks with good value are always needed

[@bridger1172]

As a broncos fan and utes fan I love this pick I’ve even seen Ellis get a sack against cal

[@jdiaz2127]

Don’t really know him much but he played against some top offenses this year and he looks like a stud

[@MickMackSauce]

Off topic but the new matte helmet sitting there does look pretty damn clean. I was harsh on them at first, I thought they were too dark but they're not.

[@mikes_in_paradise78]

We need a OT, cb, and great tight end to match with Greg dulcich, Lucas krull, and our other tight end. We also could use a great running back and wide receiver.

[@gotDIBS]

So what you're saying is Peyton Manning is a decision maker for the organization? Future President? Ops? Manager? Owner....?

[@billbellell9462]

Are we certain Sean is not writing the script for this draft? It sure seems to be going his way and it is going very well for Denver.

[@ajman8304]

He’s gonna be a hit

[@glimmerofdope5427]

How many times does Sean say “look”?

[@ramboflipflop1329]

Almost as much as he says “um”.

[@legionmartin]

Now we need a TE, game breaking RB and WR.

[@zacharyramos7949]

Sanders, Franklin, as my two top guys

[@rockstarg57]

I think Javonte Williams with a full season under his belt last season after tearing his ACL is big. He'll be elite this season and Jaleel McLaughlin is a swiss army knife. We do need a TE though. WR maybe Luke McCaffrey if he's still available

[@yaboiblue]

​@zacharyramos7949 I've been saying this my guy!! Can't believe they're available

[@evanwaters8907]

Does this put Sanders back at MLB?

[@loochiefresh465]

I hope so

[@mgb1974]

I wondered the same thing. Drew is a hell of an athlete.

[@Sparky_Dreams]

Why does the GM even have to come to these? He has said the same thing at every one since he got to Denver.

[@dubb9922]

Ellis will be steal of this draft, will be elite in 3 yrs

[@leonelsalinas7678]

Do y’all see us getting a WR or TE today??

[@augi.f2446]

Troy

[@OutsidetheEchochamber]

Pick up Cam Hart, Jaylen Wright, and Gabe Hall

[@Boegi]

Is Sean alright?

[@juanbaroma1833]

Why is George Paton still employed?

[@davidflores3343]

Do you prefer John Elway? He was a legend, But all the decisions he made only sent us more to the purgatory where we were all this time Obviously we need someone to substitute Paton, but i think That he has a lot of chemistry with Payton and that’s too important too

[@Dr.Van.Nostrand]

He's the fall guy for Sean Payton to throw under the bus when this team inevitably sucks again.

@@Dr.Van.Nostrand The Broncos are actually getting better. We definitely won’t “suck” anytime soon. Might not make the playoffs this coming season but no way we will suck

[@jstan5599]

With all respect to Manning....the questions about him, been retired for almost a decade, are tiresome. This is about the newest additions to the Broncos, not "what's it like having Manning around?" Cmon man, you can't think of a better question during the draft except about a dude that's not even a part of the Broncos?

[@jahivah]

Twiddle-Dee and Twiddle-Dumber. Relics of times past.

[@aaronoverton4497]

Reminds me of Nick Bosa ..👀!!

[@snarky_user]

Coach seems real uncomfortable here.

[@Alop777]

Payton shouldn't be allowed to coach a high school team much less an NFL TM team. Did everyone forget his pay for injuries scandal while at New Orleans?
