Of all the fallout from the Russell Wilson trade, the one that caught me by surprise the most is the relative disinterest in the upcoming NFL Draft. In previous years Broncos Country was consumed by any and all chatter about the event around now, myself included. Not this year, where there appears to be just as much interest in the franchise’s impending sale and the slow drip of news from Nathaniel Hackett’s first OTAs.
An adjustment makes sense, of course. This time last year there was a hotly contested debate about what George Paton should do with the ninth overall pick.
