Here's the info: https://www.milehighreport.com/2023/4/29/23704539/denver-broncos-draft-jl-skinner-sixth-round-2023-nfl-draft

Don't know why they passed on C Luke Wypler of Ohio St (who the Browns took shortly after). 

I think I read that he eats ice cream with a fork...psychopath qualities right there.

Looks like they traded their other sixth-rounder to NO (they used it on A.T. Perry, WR, Wake Forest).

257 and TE Adam Troutman. Former 3rd RD pick. Has all the tools. Had a solid rookie season in the covid year. Got injured late in year two and wasn’t all the way back yet last year. Worth a flier I think.

OK. That means that Albert O is gone (maybe he gets traded to Miami, as was rumored by Cecil Lammey). The 2020 draft will look even worse, with Hamler and O probably gone, and Ojemudia already gone as well (and an outside chance that Jeudy will be traded).

Guess negotiations with KJ didn’t go well

Trautman is a fan fave cause of his awesome name.

Hes a good enough blocker that he won’t be getting plays blown up and he’s a pretty decent athlete that generally has height+weight+speed advantage when he’s running routes, though I wouldn’t call him a receiving threat.

Fine pickup for what you gave up, that’s for sure… at worst he’s a really solid #2 TE.

Would like to see us take Hunter Luepke here

Alex Forsyth is a really good pick IMO 

[broncos_fan _from _uk]

Forsyth is a damn good player. Has experience at all three IOL spots. Made all of the adjustment calls for oregons uptempo offense. Above average athlete.

He could genuinely be a day one starter as a 7th round pick. More through lack of competition than anything to be fair.

Is Forsythe a better prospect than the kid we picked last year?

Not to be a downer because I am part of the problem as well, but these draft weekend threads used to be 20-40 pages deep.  People get busy (my problem) and being in education there isn’t a lot of interest in football or sustained thought in the upcoming generations. 

Aside from that. I like this draft.  Don’t know how much I like giving up picks to love up but for the most part I like the players and all filled needs.  Mims isn’t a #1 maybe not even a #2 but if he’s healthy he’s a good player.  I think Sanders and Moss have the potential to be steals where selected.  Late rounds they went with upside, I’ll never fault that. 

[BullsandBroncos]

I thought Sanders was more of a pass rusher in college when I saw him play in college. Guess Payton says he's going to play inside. I think he'd play next to Jewell if he plays well. Singleton just racked up tackles to me. Don't think he's an elite player

Interesting class. I was out golfing today but I watched some highlights and read some scouting reports. One thing I like is every guy we drafted comes from a plus program - when you’re trying to create a winning culture, having guys who come from winning programs and those with high expectations is always good. I liked the trade for Troutman too, like Josh pointed out, good flier for a guy with a strong skill set who’s been hampered by some bad injury Iuck. 

 We didn’t have much to work with but I’d give George and Sean a solid B for doing what they could. 

[broncos_fan _from _uk]

Overall C+. I don’t dislike any of the players, I just don’t like trading up to target players after the 2nd round in a draft where everyone from the 3-6th rounds was pretty close.
