Broncos draft Sai’vion Jones for defensive line depth

Summary

The Denver Broncos selected LSU defensive lineman Sai’vion Jones with the 101st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after trading up with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jones, a 6-5, 289-pound prospect, is regarded as a high-upside player with strong potential for development.

After a limited role in his rookie season, Jones is expected to compete for a more significant role this summer, especially following the free agency departure of John Franklin-Myers.
