Broncos NFL Draft Blueprint: Analytics Say Denver Must Fix THIS Position | Orange & Blue Today

About this episode

The episode discusses the Broncos' need to upgrade their tight end position in the NFL Draft and evaluates potential players to target.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dive into the Broncos’ NFL Draft Blueprint — and the analytics are screaming one thing loud and clear: Denver must upgrade the tight end position. With no first‑round pick and the pressure mounting to maximize Bo Nix’s development, the Broncos have a pivotal decision to make at pick 62. Do they move up for Vanderbilt’s Eli Stowers, the do‑everything tight end many evaluators now call a “perfect fit” for Sean Payton’s offense. Or do they stay patient and grab Max Klare (Ohio State), a polished, natural receiving tight end who could thrive as a long‑term complement — and eventual successor — to Evan Engram. This draft may not be deep at tight end, but it’s rich in opportunity for the Broncos if they strike at the right moment. The question is whether George Paton plays it aggressive or lets the board come to him. 🔥 In this episode: Analytics say TE is Denver’s biggest draft need Should the Broncos trade up for Eli Stowers Is Max Klare the smarter value play at 62 How a TE upgrade accelerates Bo Nix’s growth What George Paton’s draft…
