Broncos' Vets Sweat as Draft Looms

On April 3rd, the NFL draft is heating up, and for the Denver Broncos, it's maker-break time for some vets on the roster.

Teams love grabbing young talent to build contenders, but that means bubble players could lose snaps or get cut.

Right now, the Broncos Titan group is their weakest spot after a rough 2025 season, putting guys like Lucas Crowe and Nate Adkins on thin ice.

Crowe barely played last year due to injury, with just 29 catches over four seasons, while Adkins managed 24 grabs, but missed games.

2. Meanwhile, at Running Back, J.K. Dobbins is locked in on a two-year, $16 million deal, and Rookie R.J. Harvey balled out, sidelineing Julio.

McLaughlin, who was a healthy scratch most of the year, and Tyler Beatty, who flopped in past protection.

These backs combine for minimal yards, and even in a thin RB class, Denver could plug in fresh legs as the number three option.

Over at Linebacker, third-rounder Drew Sanders keeps getting hurt, and Achilles Tier in 2024 and ankle issues last year leaving him buried.

Behind talent, safety.

Brandon Jones tore his peck in week 15 and got shut down with no update since, plus his play with spotty.

Coach Sean Payton even said, Ed Rusher Jonah Ellis will slide inside, and with stacked rack classes at LB in safety, these six are sweating.

Bronco's brass nose upgrades here could solidify the depth and fuel a Super Bowl 61 run, so expect them to hunt prospects that outshine these.

Injury Prone, low-produced vets.
