New general manager George Paton and the Denver Broncos were big winners on day two of the 2021 NFL Draft. Paton made three trades and ultimately wound up with three selections, bringing in some impact players for 2021 and beyond in running back Javonte Williams, offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz, and linebacker Baron Browning.
Paton decided to pass on quarterbacks Justin Fields and Mac Jones with the 9th overall pick, then he passed on the quarterbacks that wound up being selected on day two in favor of his new, bruising running back.
