Broncos Draft: Weapons & Protection for Bo Nix

On April 25th, the Denver Broncos made some smart moves in the 2026 NFL draft, starting

strong on day 2 with the fence of Lyme and Tyler.

On Yottom, a ready-to-play guy who strengthens their D-line after losing John Franklin Meyers.

Then on day 3, they grabbed three key pieces in rounds 4 and 5 to build around quarterback

Bonix.

First up, running back Jonah Coleman at Pick 108 from Washington.

He's not the flashiest, but his power between the tackles and high football smarts make

him perfect insurance for J.K. Davins, easing the load on RJ, Harvey in adding reliable

pass protection.

Next, Boise State's Cage Casey at Pick 101, an athletic lineman shifting from tackle

to guard.

He brings high floor depth to an aging offensive line, giving them a dependable piece for

the future.

In round 5, they traded up for NC State Titan Justin Jolie, a dynamic pass catcher who's

more like a big receiver than a blocker.

Ray Ballu there, setting up a successor to Evan Ingram next year while fitting Sean

Peyton's scheme right away.

These picks screen focus on nicks with weapons and protection, blending high floor reliability

and upside talent.

Even without a first rounder, it's an A-Hall so far, and with 3-7th rounder's left,

the Broncos future keeps getting brighter.
