Broncos Climb Power Rankings After Draft

0:00On April 28th, the Denver Broncos just climbed to number 3 in the Athletics NFL Power Rankings after the 20-26 draft. They started the offseason at number 4, fresh off a 14-win season that fell one game short of the Super Bowl. Instead of big overhalls, the team tweaked around the edges to build on that momentum. Josh Kendall from the Athletic loves their fourth round pick of running back Jonah Coleman from Washington. He sees the thumper eating into starter. J.K. Dobbins is carries and sharing duties with RJ Harvey by mid-season. Smart Depth for Sean Payton's offense. Meanwhile, ESPN's Jeff Leguaal questions if they did enough at tight end. Sure, the tray for receiver Jalen Waddle adds serious pop, basically acting like their first round pick. But they waited until the fifth round for Justin Jolie in seventh for Dallin Bentley. Phil Gates calls that late Bentley, grab one of his favorite draft steals. The long tight end brings strong hands and run after catch skills, with 48 catches for 620 yards last year. He and Jolie will battle for Payton's Joker Row right

1:05away. These moves solidify a Super Bowl caliber squad, positioning Denver to finally break through this fall.
