With the 2019 NFL Draft now on the immediate horizon, many are dishing out takes and analyzing prospects in hopes of being right in late April. However, Denver Broncos defensive lineman Derek Wolfe has taken a different angle. The veteran defender believes the NFL Draft is a bunch of nonsense.

“It’s just a big game that they play,” Wolfe recently said, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. “It’s just like, ‘Oh, I’m going to show interest in this guy just to get this team to think’ — you’re just playing games. Listen, we’re just commodities in a business, man.

“Going into the draft process, everybody tries to make you feel special and like you’re the next greatest thing. But that’s just the start of it. Once you get drafted, that’s when the real workouts are starting. I never even talked to the Broncos. I didn’t have a single meeting with the Broncos. Every team I thought I was going to go to, they went in the complete opposite direction. So I was like, ‘I don’t know what the hell is going on, man.’ Then I get a call from John Elway and I’m like, ‘All right. Cool. I guess I’m going to Denver.’ I had no clue I was going to come here. I’m glad I did. I’ve had a lot of great memories here and I hope I can create some more.”

Derek Wolfe and the Broncos are trying to rebound in a big way in 2019. The AFC West franchise could use the 2019 NFL Draft to aid the process.
