But, first ...
The Broncos don’t even know who, when and where they pick in the first round and the what and the why of the 49ers at No. 3.
The NFL draft will begin at 6 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Beginning with the Jaguars, each team will have a maximum of 10 minutes to make a selection. Jacksonville and the New York Jets could announce their choices — Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson — within seconds, but the two franchises, the league and the networks will drag out the drama.
The Broncos’ pick actually could be anywhere from fourth to ninth (the current spot) to 32nd, (the last first-round position) and might be declared publicly at any time from 6:15 to 9:30 by commissioner Roger Goodell with Lake Erie as the backdrop in Cleveland.
