It will be a few more days until this year’s NFL draft. In the Denver Broncos camp, however, those responsible have apparently long known which key position they will concentrate on in Green Bay.
Both Broncos A large quality gap in the running-back room has been fucking since the beginning of the new NFL year, which is why they select one of the available players in this position in many mock drafts. Head coach Sean Payton Meanwhile, confirmed that the RBS will actually enjoy the highest priority in the upcoming draft.
“The focus will be on the running back position,” said the Californian-born on Thursday at a press conference. “It’s a pretty good draft for running backs.” Some experts even wonder whether 2025 has been the best RB year in ten years and the selection is truly enormous this year.
But which of these talents ultimately ends up in Denver do not only have to decide the Broncos, since they only come into play in the first round – now – only in position 20. At this point, Ashton Jeattly (Boise State) could no longer be on the board. With Omarion Hampton (North Carolina), Treveyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins (Ohio State each), there are certainly many other top talents available.
NFL draft: Broncos at RBS reserved
It remains to be seen that the Broncos secure one of these players on the first day. After all, the AFC-West representative has not drafted a running back in the first round since 2009. According to Payton, however, this could happen again this year – if the necessary requirements are met.
“I think it depends on your own vision and the vision for the player. I think you often have the feeling that certain positions in the offseason are better occupied than others. Nevertheless, you have to pay attention to the skill,” emphasized the 61-year-old. “Sometimes it is just the course of the draft. If you don’t take a player, it is not because you don’t want to take it, but because a different position fell into your lap. So a lot depends on the team and then on the players themselves.
