Summary

The DNVR Draft Podcast is back! After an electric couple days of College Football Playoffs upsets. We break down the biggest questions facing the Denver Broncos this offseason: are defensive needs becoming the top priority? We dive into what boosting the defense would look like, which positions matter most, and whether replacing Jonathan Franklin-Myers becomes a critical offseason move if he walks in free agency. We examine the best defensive fits for Denver, including help in the pass defense, free safety, coverage linebackers, and pass rush depth. If defense isn’t the move early, we pivot to the best offensive fits for the Broncos, discussing recent declarations like Denzel Boston and Auburn center Connor Lew, plus skill-position targets including Zachariah Branch, Raleek Brown, the Big 12 running backs we love, tight end options, and offensive line depth. We have to talk College Football Playoff standouts, starting with first-round level defenders like Akheem Mesidor, Rueben Bain Jr., Keionte Scott, Justin Jefferson, and Albert Regis, before diving into Quarterfinal breakouts. We debate whether Zachariah Branch could be the perfect Sean Payton weapon, if Denver should consider moving up for him, and highlight defensive playmakers, safeties, tight ends, corners, and running backs who caught our eye. We wrap with quarterback discussions that matter for Denver and the AFC West, including Trinidad Chambliss, Ty Simpson, Dante Moore vs. Fernando Mendoza, and which QB prospect would be more concerning if the Raiders land them. Plus, CFP picks, national title predictions, NFL seeding talk, and more. If you’re locked into Broncos draft coverage, CFP scouting, and how Denver’s offseason priorities are taking shape, this episode is a must-watch. Join Jake Schwanitz and Andre Simone as we look ahead to the top talents that’ll shape the future of football.
