Summary

NFL Draft expert Fran Duffy joins the show to break down the biggest **winners and losers of the 2025 NFL Draft class** so far, and what it all means for the **Denver Broncos** heading into next spring. We dig into the impact of the **transfer portal** on scouting, whether preseason rankings matter less than ever, and why this year feels more unpredictable than past draft cycles. We also look at the Broncos’ **biggest draft needs** and identify ideal fits in the **2025 NFL Draft**: - Why this year’s **off-ball linebacker class** is surprisingly strong - How the **offensive line and tight end groups** stack up (is Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq the Joker Sean Payton wants?) - The depth of the **wide receiver class** despite no top-20 talents - Why the **cornerback and defensive back class** might be one of the strongest in years Finally, we preview the **biggest Week 6 college football matchups** to watch. If you’re a Broncos fan or a draft junkie, this episode is packed with insight on the **2026 NFL Draft class** and the top **college football prospects** you need to know.
