The Broncos draft Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., who lit up the combine with a 4.51 40-yard dash and elite agility.

This episode presents a full seven-round mock draft for the Denver Broncos following the NFL Scouting Combine. Host Eric Bettinger, co-host of Locked On Broncos and site expert for Predominantly Orange, constructs the hypothetical draft class without any trades. The mock begins with the Broncos selecting Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. in the first round, citing his 4.51-second 40-yard dash and a 9.93 Relative Athletic Score. In the second round, the pick is Ohio State tight end Max Clare, described as an athletic "Joker" type for the offense. Washington running back Jonah Coleman, noted for his pass protection skills and single fumble over four seasons, is the third-round selection. Day three starts with Stanford tight end Sam Roush in the fourth round, highlighted by his 4.7-second 40-yard dash at 267 pounds. The Broncos use another fourth-round pick on Texas safety Michael Taft, a former walk-on. Kentucky guard Jalen Farmer is the fifth-round choice, projected as a potential future starter. The seventh round sees two picks: Navy versatile weapon Eli Heidenreich, who ran a 4.44-second 40, and Washington offensive tackle Carver Willis, a Colorado native. The host believes the team's biggest immediate needs will be addressed in free agency, making the draft more about talent and depth upgrades. A key insight is the prediction the Broncos will double-dip at tight end, selecting both Clare and Roush. The host repeatedly notes the team's apparent affinity for drafting defensive players from the University of Texas. He acknowledges that not taking a wide receiver high is a notable omission from this draft scenario. The episode operates on the assumption that linebacker and tight end, while not the highest-value positions, are clear needs for Denver. The analysis heavily incorporates combine testing numbers and specific scouting report details for each prospect. The tone is informational and conversational, aimed at dedicated Broncos fans following the offseason. The style is that of a solo host methodically walking through a draft simulation, explaining each selection's rationale. This episode is ideal for Denver Broncos fans eager for detailed draft speculation and prospect analysis following the combine. Listeners who prefer discussions on free agency or broader team strategy over a pure mock draft format might find it less engaging.
