The Denver Broncos have identified key needs heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, scheduled for April 24-26. After addressing significant gaps through free agency, the team now focuses on eight essential positions. First and foremost is the running back spot, given the departure of Javonte Williams. The 2025 draft boasts a deep running back class, providing Denver with ample options.

Next on the list is the wide receiver position. Although head coach Sean Payton is optimistic about the current roster, with Courtland Sutton facing free agency in 2026, acquiring additional playmakers remains a priority. Long-term needs include tight end, defensive line, and linebacker. While depth is sufficient at these positions, bolstering the roster with fresh talent is crucial for the upcoming season. The Broncos also seek to add depth in safety, cornerback, and interior offensive line.
