CSU TE Trey McBride & Montana State LB Troy Andersen Mocked to Broncos by NFL.com
Mock draft season is in full swing. However, with the Denver Broncos not having any Round 1 selections or picks in the top-50 of the 2022 draft, the mocks with write-ups from analysts across the NFL landscape are somewhat few and far between.
NFL.com analyst Chad Reuter was gracious enough to produce a four-round mock draft with plenty of prospects mocked to the Broncos to analyze. While not every pick would be a slam-dunk selection for the Broncos, the fit of prospect with the team is worth pondering and discussing as that is what mock drafts are for at the end of the day.
Here's how Reuter's four-round mock shook out for the Broncos.
Round 2 | Pick 64: Trey McBride | TE | Colorado State
Round 3 | Pick 75: Troy Andersen | LB | Montana State
Round 3 | Pick 96: Juanyeh Thomas | S | Georgia Tech
Round 4 | Pick 115: Marcus Jones | CB | Houston
Round 4 | Pick 116: Pierre Strong, Jr. | RB | South Dakota State
Still, Pierre Strong, Jr. looks like he could be a very good speed slash back type for Denvers’ outside zone-centric scheme and compete with Mike Boone for the RB2 role. Given that neither Javonte Williams nor Boone has ever had a season in the league (and for Williams in college) as a high-volume running back, adding to the room is likely a must for the Broncos entering the 2022 season.
This isn't the first, nor will it be the last Broncos mock from the national-media perspective. MHH will be here to continue chronicling how the NFL's leading draft analysts project things shaping up for the Broncos.
