In a 50-minute presser Thursday, GM George Paton & coach Sean Payton talked draft vision, offseason changes, landing the right player in third round and Jerry Jeudy's future. Broncos Insider TroyRenck breaks it all down here:
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — As a brisk wind swirled Thursday morning, workers scrubbed the UCHealth signage from the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse. An offseason of seismic change includes a new name for the training facility. That will be revealed soon.
The Broncos sit in an interesting spot. Their first selection, barring a trade, is not on the clock until the 67th and 68th picks in the third round. How do you view that spot, I asked both executives? When drafting in the first and second rounds, there is an expectation those rookies will be starters sooner rather than later."We have a clear vision for where these players are in their first year, second year, third year and throughout their career. We discuss that.
"Javonte is doing really well in his rehab. We don’t have a date, but we feel good. We feel good that he’ll be back this season. We’re not entirely sure when. He’s progressing very well. Like all of the positions, and like we just talked about with the O-lineman, if there’s a runner there — no matter what point of the draft — and he’s the best player on our board, we’ll take a running back, that’s for sure," Paton said.
"I spoke at the owner’s meetings. We’re high — really high — on Jerry. We don’t anticipate doing anything with Jerry. Jerry finished the season strong — the last five games, he had over 500 yards. He was one of the top receivers in the league," Paton said, not specifically addressing the fifth year."We like Jerry, and he’s going to be here.”
