Denver Broncos Tight End Options SOAR Up Boards After NFL Combine Week

·32 min·2 clips

Could the Broncos trade up for Oregon's freakish tight end Kenyon Sadiq after his 4.39 40-yard dash?

This episode analyzes how NFL Combine performances impact the Denver Broncos' draft strategy for their top three needs. Host Cody Roark, a credentialed Broncos reporter, and analyst Sarah discuss prospects who improved their stock. The primary focus is a deep tight end class, highlighted by Oregon's Ja'Tavion Sanders and his 4.39-second 40-yard dash and 43.5-inch vertical. Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers recorded a 45.5-inch vertical, while Stanford's Sam Ruch earned a 9.94 Relative Athletic Score at 267 pounds. The hosts argue the Broncos should "double dip" by adding a tight end in both free agency and the draft. At linebacker, prospects like Georgia's CJ Allen, Texas's Anthony Hill Jr., and Jacob Rodriguez posted elite athletic testing, with Hill notching a 9.93 RAS. The Broncos have starters Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton entering free agency, creating a need. The running back group features Arkansas's Mike Washington Jr., who ran a 4.33-second 40 at 230 pounds, and Washington's Jonah Coleman, noted for his pass protection and ball security. A surprising insight is that last year's tight end class was strong, but this year's group may be even better, offering Denver a "mulligan." The show notes the paradox where combine stars like Sanders may rise out of Denver's draft range at pick 30, making a trade-up a consideration. For linebacker, the presence of top prospects like Ohio State's Sonny Styles could push other talented players down to Denver's slot. The hosts suggest the Broncos' affinity for Texas Longhorns players, like last year's pick Jaden Barron, could make Anthony Hill Jr. a target. The tone is conversational and analytical, blending scout-like evaluation of testing data with team-specific roster analysis. The style is enthusiastic and geared toward informed fans, with hosts sharing personal prospect preferences. This episode is ideal for Denver Broncos fans closely following the NFL Draft and offseason roster construction. Listeners less interested in collegiate athletic testing or pre-draft speculation might find it too niche.
