The Denver Broncos drafted Nik Bonitto with their first of nine picks in the NFL draft on Day 2 in the second round (64th overall), a pick acquired in the Von Miller trade.
The ironic twist is the pick acquired from the Miller trade turned into the player that’ll help replace the future Broncos Ring of Famer. The Broncos expect an immediate impact from Bonitto.
In addition to immediate impact as a pass rusher, the team wants Bonitto to get a little stronger and heavier to help him defend the run. After drafting the edge rusher last week, general manager George Paton said, “He has to get a little stronger. At Oklahoma, they are on the move a lot. They’re not really asked to set an edge.
