"We were just going over the [draft] board before we came here," General Manager George Paton said. "… There's a number of good players tomorrow. We have six picks. We have flexibility."

"If you're a pressure player, at some point, you've got to have production," Head Coach Sean Payton said. "This player had that."

Here's a look at who the Broncos added to their roster during the 2024 NFL Draft.

A 2023 second-team All-American and first-team All-Pac-12 player, Elliss recorded 12 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, three quarterback hits and a forced fumble in his final season for Utah.

"I don't want to just be a draft pick," Nix said at his introductory press conference. "I want to be able to show my improvements and show that I can do what [they] picked me to do, and that's to go out there and help win games [and] do whatever I can to put his team in a better situation."

"When you watch him, it's pretty calming," Head Coach Sean Payton said. "He's very efficient."

The minutes before Denver's pick wouldn't be without stress. The Falcons surprisingly selected Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth-overall pick, which threw the ensuing picks into flux.

"I know everybody has to compete," Nix said. "I know everyone has to go to work."

The 2023 Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year and a Heisman Trophy finalist, Nix led Oregon to a 12-2 record in his final season as he completed 77.4 percent of his passes and threw for 4,508 yards, 45 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Scheffler, a second-round pick by the Broncos in 2006, will announce the 76th-overall selection.

The 2024 NFL Draft is set to begin.

Also, seven returning Broncos have decided to wear new numbers ahead of the 2024 season.
