What Is The Biggest Need For The Broncos This Offseason

Denver: The Broncos had a season that felt good overall, but Sunday’s game left fans feeling pretty down. Making the playoffs is a big deal, but it’s just the start of the real challenge. The AFC is tough, with star quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes making it hard to breathe. So, as we look at what went wrong, the big question is: what’s the most crucial position to upgrade this offseason?

Sean Keeler chimed in, saying he wants a standout tight end and a solid running back. He thinks Javonte Williams is a great player, but he’s not quite the same as when he first started. The stats show that the Broncos struggle when they can’t rush for at least 95 yards in a game. If they want to aim for a Super Bowl, they need to fix that.

Renck pointed out that penalties and missed catches hurt the team, but the real issue is the need for a reliable tight end. The Broncos barely had any plays on Sunday, which is just not enough. A good tight end can help with those crucial third downs and make things easier for Bo Nix. There are a few tight ends in the draft that could really help.

Keeler added that if they’re looking for tight ends with potential, he likes Harold Fannin Jr. from Bowling Green. He also mentioned that Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty could be a game-changer, but he might end up with Dallas. There are plenty of good running backs available in the draft that could help the Broncos get back on track.

Renck believes the most important addition would be a strong running back and some changes to the blocking strategy. But he doubts Coach Payton will change his passing-heavy approach. The Broncos have struggled with tight end production for a while now, and it’s time to find a real solution instead of patching things up.

Keeler agreed, noting that the Bills made it look easy by running the ball effectively. With teams like Buffalo and Kansas City consistently making the playoffs, the Broncos need to step up their game. A strong running game can keep the opposing quarterbacks off the field and help the Broncos win those tough January games. If they can improve their run game, they’ll be one step closer to a championship parade.
