With the large free agent signatures, almost for the broncos of Denver, only one real flagrant weakness through the depth table remains: the ball carrier. Fortunately, the Running backs harvest of the NFL 2025 draft is undoubtedly one of the deepest and the most talented that the league has seen for many years.
With up to 30 backs which could hear their name called within three days which include the project, Country Broncos wonders who and in which tower the team will add a ball carrier. While many fans hope that the choice of Denver’s first round will indeed be this elusive ball carrier n ° 1 visibly absent from the current list, the GM George Paton has thought of reflection.
According to Paton, broncos are anything but forced to go back with the 20th overall selection of the team. If the good guy falls, of course, but if Denver bypassing a ball carrier at 20 (or even 51 years old), Country Broncos should not panic.
“It is a strong class. There are different flavors throughout the project,” said Paton on Monday during annual NFL meetings in Florida. “I think you can get a good return to the second round and sixth round. It’s like that.”
Paton admits that “there are not as many backs in three setbacks” in the class that project themselves like real Bell-Cow runners. Historically, however, the broncos head coach Sean Payton did not use a bell and preferred to have two main players off the back field.
This does not mean that broncos would not like to have a three-basic return, but with Payton at the helm, they could easily fulfill the role overall.
According to Paton, “everyone talks about runners” and that “it’s a strong class”.
“There are so many.”[There are] Not as many backs three down, but it’s a good class. We will have a [running] Back in this project.
On Monday, Payton also talked about the desire of the broncos to find better talents precipitated in the draft. While postponing a question comparing the needs of the broncos to the position similar to what the team was confronted in Bo Nix and the quarter-Arrière last season, the head coach revealed that “it is easier to find this position than the quarterrier”.
“There is just more access to find answers to this position, and it is much more difficult in the quarter-tree,” said Payton.
Discussing the free agency plan of the broncos in action during the offseason, Payton said that the team bypassing a ball carrier was both due to the reality of the free agent harvest being a “fairly meager year” and also that “there is depth in the draft”.
There are still names in a free agency, such as JK Dobbins and Nick Chubb, as well as the Ballon carrier of the Falcons of Atlanta, Tyler Allgeier, who was launched as a candidate for potential trade that broncos could still continue. However, given the incredible surplus of talent at the post in the project, it is logical that Denver is waiting for and seeing how the April selections take place before returning to free agency or trade options.
It may be a smoke screen but also notable as Payton exciting young receivers of his team In Devaughn Vele, Marvin Mims Jr. and Troy Franklin leading to the Super Bowl, he took the time to also emphasize how much he likes and wants to see the running backs of the broncos already on the list.
“Don’t be mistaken,” said Payton. “We want to see our group at home now these opportunities. So this competition, I think, will help.”
It does not seem that Payton counts completely Audric estimates, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie and Blake Watson as much as Broncos Country is … it is if you take it to the word.
Broncos could certainly take a ball carrier at 20 in total in this mold in three down, like Ashton Jeanty from Boisse State or Omarion Hampton de Caroline du Nord. Perhaps Broncos could seek to take an early power option such as the Quinshon Judkins of Ohio State or a change in change of passage, a third pass-pass-and protector of Pass like his teammate Treveyon Henderson. Otherwise, there will always be an option as a ball carrier after the other for Denver to consider with each selection that she currently has.
The Broncos obviously plan to add a ball carrier in the project, but they are not desperate to consider only the position at 20 in total (or even 51 in total if they do not take it in the first round). The broncos apparently appreciate the talent sufficiently available throughout the draft that they do not feel obliged to take one in the first round in April.
