Broncos Target Interior Linemen in Late Draft

0:00It's April 1st. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. The Denver Broncos face a thin draft board up top with just one early pick at number 62 overall, so they're banking on day three gyms for their biggest need, interior offensive lineman. Ben Powers holds down left guard now, but his deal runs through 2026, and they need a successor ready to roll. Earlier this week, the consensus bigboard lit up options across every round, even if the Broncos missed the top tiers. Guys like Emanuel Pregnant from Oregon, a Denver native with starter traits in power to move defenders, topped the first round wish list, though he'd be. Long gone. Fans and scouts see the urgency with Luke Wattenberg's extension only buying time through next year, pushing Denver to snag versatile pieces who fit, any scheme. Impact hits hard on the run game, and pocket protection, where these late round mollors could plug right in and develop fast.

1:00Deeper inter rounds 4 through 7, names like Bo Stevens from Iowa, bring that gritty Iowa toughness and anchor strength, while Texas A&Ms, our homage read, Adams offers proven snaps as the physical blocker. Even seventh round, Micah Morris from Georgia packs elite size, but needs coaching to polish his technique. As the draft clock ticks, expect the Broncos to target these interior beasts at 62 or trade back from more shots. Getting that trench warfare, for the long haul.
