ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos didn’t just add a receiver; they detonated their entire first-round draft strategy. By finalizing the Broncos Jaylen Waddle trade last week, Denver sacrificed its No. 30 overall pick to the Miami Dolphins. They walked away with a proven 1,000-yard weapon.

That financial wizardry frees head coach Sean Payton to build a championship roster around quarterback Bo Nix right now. The UCHealth Training Center practically hummed with static electricity this week. You could feel…
