Broncos Host Guard Pregnon, Eyeing Trench Fortification

0:00On April 4, the Denver Broncos went all in on offense by trading for Jalen Waddle, giving up their first round pick in the process. It was a bold move to fix their week-wide receiver group, which struggled for years, even in the Bonix era. Now sitting at the 60 second overall pick in the second round, they're still hunting for talent without that top spot. They just hosted Oregon Guard Emanuel Pregnant on a top 30 visit. A prospect mocked as a late first or early second rounder. This Denver native brings serious run-blocking skills and a ton of college experience from 53 games across Oregon, Wyoming, and USC. He's an older rookie at 23, but that's no big deal for offensive lineman. Fans and analysts are buzzing because the Broncos desperately need to boost their ground game. Pregnant could slide right in as a plug-and-play starter, shaking up the line where Ben Powers holds down left guard. Many figure powers might get cut or traded anyway. Especially with studs like Gariboles and Quinn Miners locked in.

1:01To grab Pregnant, they might trade up more than 20 spots from their current position, but it makes sense long-term. Moving on from Powers would free up. Cash, too, since Mike Muglinchy plays a premium spot and stays safe. Overall, this visit signals the Broncos are serious about fortifying the trenches post, bottle trade, balancing immediate impact with smart roster, tweaks.
