If Broncos rebuild works the way Sean Payton and George Paton plan, the process that led to Bo Nix and the past six weeks in general will have played a critical role.

The Denver Broncos have selected Utah EDGE Jonah Elliss with the 76th overall selection in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Broncos have several needs and used their lone Day 2 pick in the NFL Draft to address one by selecting Utah edge rusher Jonah Elliss at No. 76 overall.

The Denver Broncos selected former Utah edge rusher Jonah Elliss with their 76th overall pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

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