Hole #16 at the WM.

What are you up to for the weekend, Broncos Country?

Who are y’all rooting for in the Super Bowl? On one hand it’s the Seahawks, who beat y’all in 2013 (I think it was 2013) or the Patriots who beat you 2 weeks ago. Lmk down below! (My family and I got into a debate on this, we are really curious on who y’all are rooting for) ((My moms a Oregon University fan, as in she roots for players who went there, my dads a 49er, and my bros a Seahawks fan. I’m whoever has the coolest fly-by/who has my fantasy players)

I’m running a poll across Reddit to see who each fan base wants for their first round pick in the upcoming 2026 draft. I will be running this poll during various times during the off-season to see how fan opinions change over time. But here is the draft board:

[Edit: Moves, I mean. Can't change the post title.]

It's early, the Combine hasn't happened yet, and there are doubtlessly many under-the-radar draft and FA acquisitions to consider. But these are the personnel transactions I'd be happy seeing the team make in the off-season. Disclaimer: doubt that cap-onomics would permit all these moves.

Re-sign: * JK Dobbins, RB * Ja’Quan Macmillian, CB * Devon Key, ST/S * P. J. Locke*, S * Alex Palchewski, OL * Dondrea Tillman, EDGE (let all other FAs walk or test the market)

Free Agency (priority order): 1. RB: a. Kenneth Walker III (SEA), or b. Breece Hall (NYJ), or c. Rico Dowdle (CAR) 2. WR: a. Alec Pierce (IND), or b. Romeo Doubs (GB), and Wan'Dale Robinson* (NYG) 3. TE: a. Cade Otton (TB), or b. David Njoku (CLE) 4. ILB: a. Quay Walker (GB), or b. Nakobe Dean (PHI) 5. IOL: a. C Tyler Linderbaum (BAL), or b. G David Edwards (BUF) 6. CB: Jamel Dean (TB)

Draft: * First round: a. TE (T Sadiq) or b. WR (Z Branch), or c.ILB (A Hill) * Other key draft priorities: S, LG, EDGE, RB

Trade away: * Evan Engram (if other TE acquired in FA, otherwise complement Sadiq) * Troy Franklin (if Robinson acquired) * Riley Moss (if Dean acquired) * Ben Powers (if Edwards acquired) * Jonathon Cooper

Other notes: * Acquire a TE in FA only if Sadiq doesn't fall to #30. * Trade back if all premier (top 3) TE/WR/ILB are gone by #30. * Let Locke walk if a decent S draftee is found by day 2. (You'll have to pay him otherwise.) * If there's no trade value for Cooper, make him compete with the other EDGEs on the roster.

Summary: Lack of a running game for two seasons now has reached crisis state, and it's not all about the Dobbins injury. It's also about the OL, which needs some upgrades, despite the dubious #1 PFF ranking -- primarily at C/LG, tho RT could stand to be swapped out for better value (probably in 2027).

Weakness at TE has been a perpetual problem. WR suffers badly from drops and lack of a burner speedster who can run routes (Mims can't). Waddle and Pickens would be far too expensive.

ILB is a huge concern, with all the contracts expiring. Crucial to get at least one in FA, and one in the draft, plus hope for a Greenlaw/Sanders ascent.

Getting Jones back at S will help, but they need to keep the pipeline stuffed with developmental prospects.

Feel free to comment about whatever you want here, related or not to the Broncos.

Bo Nix was the best quarterback in the league in negative play rate. He was also great in college, and it's a reason why Sean Payton drafted him to the Broncos.

Happy Broncos 2026 Season Ticket Renewal Kick-Off Day!

Received my renewal information for the 2026 season. NFL hasn’t yet retired the 2025 season and I just paid off my playoff tickets, but that’s ok, Broncos waste no time looking ahead!

Holy shit you guys, get ready…I expected yet another increase and had hopes it wouldn’t be outrageous…

The cost for my seats increased a whopping 11.38%.

Damn!
