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.
- •Broncos made the playoffs in 2024 but lost to the Bills.
- •Jahdae Barron was the Broncos' first-round pick in the 2025 draft.
- •Gary Davenport advocates for drafting Ashton Jeanty instead of Barron.
- •Jeanty could have transformed Denver's offensive backfield.
