The Denver Broncos have made significant strides in addressing their roster needs ahead of the NFL draft. General Manager George Paton and Coach Sean Payton have successfully filled key positions including backup quarterback, defensive line, inside linebacker, safety, and tight end through strategic moves in free agency. Notably, they secured the return of defensive lineman D.J. Jones and backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Additional signings include safety Talanoa Hufanga and linebacker Dre Greenlaw on the first day of legal tampering, followed by tight end Evan Engram shortly thereafter.

While the Broncos have made commendable progress, they still face a critical need at running back, a position they likely aim to fill in the coming draft. Fortunately, this year's running back class appears to be robust, providing Denver with several options to enhance their ground game. With these developments, the team looks poised to enter the draft with flexibility, allowing them to choose the best talent available without the pressure of addressing glaring needs.
