Many football enthusiasts often claim that the most challenging phase of being a fan occurs after minicamps and before training camp. However, I would argue that the most difficult time is the current period, the stretch leading up to the NFL Draft. This is a time filled with uncertainty and anticipation, as fans are left to speculate about the future of their team and the potential players that could become part of it.

For nearly a decade, we have dedicated countless hours during this pre-draft phase imagining what it would be like to secure a top-tier quarterback. While such discussions can be exciting, they rarely provide the satisfaction needed to keep fans engaged during this prolonged off-season. Instead, the speculation often leads to frustration as fans yearn for concrete actions and decisions that will shape the team’s future.

In the midst of all the rumors, smoke screens, and distractions, the daily anticipation regarding whom the Denver Broncos will draft fluctuates dramatically with each new tweet. News about the Broncos’ interest in various prospects creates a whirlwind of emotions among fans. One moment, it seems like they might select a quarterback, while the next, everything changes based on new information or shifting opinions within the scouting community.

The reality is that the Broncos are still weighing their options and are uncertain about which direction they will take come draft day. While they have a general list of players they favor, the unpredictability of the draft means that until the clock starts ticking, anything could happen. This tense atmosphere only heightens the excitement and anxiety among fans, as they eagerly await the team’s decision.

Typically, by this point in the off-season, the Broncos would have made some notable moves in free agency to generate buzz and excitement. However, this year feels different. With the recent decision to part ways with Russell Wilson, there is a noticeable lack of significant activities that fans can rally behind. This absence of news leaves supporters craving something – anything – that can ignite their enthusiasm for the season ahead.

While new uniforms, the draft, and the release of the upcoming schedule can help alleviate some of the offseason blues, they simply don’t compare to the thrill of actual gameplay. Fans are eagerly awaiting tangible changes and developments that signal progress and potential success for the team. The anticipation builds, and many are ready to feel that rush of excitement once more!

I am eager to find something to be excited about!
