ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- And with the ninth pick of the 2022 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos have selected ... Russell Wilson, quarterback.
When the Broncos shipped five draft picks -- including that pick at No. 9 this year and their first-round selection next year -- to the Seattle Seahawks to acquire Wilson, it was a commitment to their new quarterback. But it was also rooted in a belief they can still make the draft work in their favor, especially on Day 2.
"I always talk about flexibility, flexibility in the draft, and flexibility in the offseason and free agency," general manager George Paton said earlier this offseason.
