Is RB Now a Draft Must for Denver — And Will Jadarian Price or Jonah Coleman Be the Answer

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason react to Mel Kiper Jr. telling Mase that only three running backs may come off the board in the first three rounds. If that projection from the ESPN analyst holds, what does it mean for the Broncos? And how it could reshape their draft strategy after a quiet free‑agency period at the position? The fellas dig into whether running back is now a must‑address spot in the 2026 NFL Draft, especially with Denver holding a valuable fourth‑round pick that could line up perfectly with the board. Will Arkansas RB Mike Washington still be available there, or is he rising too fast. Should the Broncos instead swing earlier and target Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price in Round 2, giving the team the added threat of another dynamic returner? Or perhaps target Washington RB Jonah Coleman, giving Sean Payton a powerful, three‑down tone‑setter. With limited veteran options left and uncertainty around the current depth chart, the draft might be Denver’s best — and only — path to upgrading the backfield. 🔥 In this episode: Mel Kiper’s projection: only three RBs in Rounds 1–3 Does this make RB a must‑draft position for Denver Will Mike Washington be on the board in Round 4 Should the Broncos target Jonah Coleman in Round 2 How the RB class aligns with Denver’s draft capital and needs Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which running back YOU want the Broncos to target in April.
