The Denver Broncos, after a surprising playoff run in 2024, would approach the 2025 NFL Draft differently, opting for offensive talent instead of defensive. In a redraft review, writer Gary Davenport suggests the Broncos should have selected Ashton Jeanty to bolster their offense. The current roster includes Jahdae Barron, a defensive back who had limited impact during his rookie season. Had Denver drafted Jeanty, their backfield structure might significantly differ, potentially impacting the roster decisions related to other running backs. The Broncos are looking to enhance their offensive performance moving forward.
