After entertaining trade-down options in Round 1, the Broncos stayed at No. 20. They are, however, moving down tonight. Denver will send No. 51 to Carolina.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is an eight-pick trade, the largest of this draft thus far. The Panthers will pick up Nos. 51, 85, 122 and 208; the Broncos will obtain Nos. 57, 74, 111 and 230. With the pick, Carolina is choosing Texas A&M edge rusher Nic Scourton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Carolina eschewed its EDGE need by taking Tetairoa McMillan<\/a> in Round 1, ex-Broncos DC Ejiro Evero will have a high-end piece to mold. The team did not do much to replace Brian Burns<\/a> in 2024, but it has gotten back to work this offseason. Scourton joins ex-Vikings rotational rusher Patrick Jones<\/a> as new Panthers additions at OLB.<\/p>\n

A Purdue transfer, Scourton is coming off a five-sack season in College Station. With the Boilermakers in 2023, however, Scourton ripped off 10 sacks. Scourton still managed to remain consistent in backfield disruption, following a 15-TFL sophomore season with a 14-TFL junior slate. He will join a Panthers team coming off a last-place season defensively. The Athletic\u2019s Dane Brugler ranked Scourton as this draft class\u2019 12th-best EDGE prospect.<\/p>\n

Carolina carried a dire EDGE need into the draft, after having addressed its D-line (via Tershawn Wharton<\/a> and Bobby Brown<\/a>) in free agency. The Broncos have not yet addressed their running back need, seeing two more potential targets (ex-Ohio State runners Quinshon Judkins<\/a> and TreVeyon Henderson<\/a>) go off the board tonight. Denver, however, will move up in Rounds 3 and 4 via this trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After entertaining trade-down options in Round 1, the Broncos stayed at No. 20.
