DraftCountdown

Online/Digital
Hi! I’m Scott Wright and I love the NFL Draft. I have often been told that my passion is clearly evident when I speak about the draft and I consider that to be a great compliment. I am extremely proud of what I’ve been able to achieve as an independent NFL Draft analyst over the course of almost two decades. Throughout the years this site has come to be respected as one of the most accurate in the industry. Not only do I consistently finish near the top of the standings in the trusted, invitation-only Mock Draft and Top 100 contests run by “The Huddle Report” but I’ve actually won both. I am also a member of The Football Writers Association of America (F.W.A.A.) and have been fortunate enough to cultivate relationships with colleagues and sources from every aspect of the football world. NFL Network USA Today New York Times ESPN Radio Fox Sports Radio Forbes NBCSports EA Sports About.com Readers Choice Award for "Best NFL Draft Web Site" I started what would ultimately become DraftCountdown.com as a hobby in high school in 1997. I never could’ve imagined it would become one of the most popular websites of its kind or that it would lead to me appearing on television, radio and in print all across the country. Source

The Denver Broncos nearly made it to the Super Bowl had it not been for a late injury to QB Bo Nix. The Broncos have built a solid roster through free agency and the NFL Draft. The organization pulled off a trade coming into the Draft to send a first and third, as well as swap fourth-round picks, with the Miami Dolphins in exchange for WR Jaylen Waddle. Denver also traded out of their second-round pick when they acquired a third-round and a sixth-round pick from the Buffalo Bills.
