After two lackluster seasons post the high-profile trade for former Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos seem poised to hit the reset button and return the franchise to its winning ways.
Following a disappointing end to the 2023 NFL season, the Broncos bid farewell to Wilson, who opted to join the Pittsburgh Steelers in pursuit of a fresh start in the league.
With the team officially moving past the Wilson era and apparently placing their faith in Jarrett Stidham as their starting quarterback for the upcoming 2024 NFL season, it appears they’re embracing a new direction.
As per the announcement on the team’s Twitter account, Denver will unveil new uniforms a few days before the 2024 NFL Draft scheduled for April 22nd.

While Stidham is expected to take the reins as the starting quarterback going forward, the team may opt to select a promising young quarterback in the upcoming draft, holding the No. 12 overall pick in the first round.
Although the No. 12 pick might not secure one of the top-tier quarterback prospects in the draft, the Broncos could explore trading up to acquire a more highly regarded talent at the position, such as Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, J.J. McCarthy, or Michael Penix Jr.
Given the abundance of talented young quarterbacks in this draft class, there’s a possibility of a flurry of trades occurring at the start of the draft, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the proceedings.
