It feels good at Arizona Cardinals in the 2024 NFL Draft according to Sean Payton

The buzz around the NFL meetings revolves around the Arizona Cardinals, prompting discussions among other teams and coaches about potential moves with the fourth overall pick. Even Sean Payton has chimed in on the matter. While some speculate that the Denver Broncos could be inclined to make a move, considering their recent loss of three first-round picks due to the unsuccessful Russell Wilson acquisition, it appears to be a stretch.

Seeking insight from an authoritative source, I consulted Scott Payne of Mile High Report for his perspective. Payne expressed skepticism about the Broncos’ ability to outbid the Vikings, suggesting that any offer would likely require at least three first-round picks. Given their previous expenditure of three first-rounders on Wilson and Payton, such a proposition would come at a high cost. Although cornerback Pat Surtain stands out as their most valuable trade asset, indications suggest he’s off the table.

With Surtain unavailable, the question arises: Are the Broncos prepared to delay reaping the rewards of a trade-down scenario until 2025 or 2026? While this option may seem suboptimal, it prompts consideration of fan sentiments and preferences.
