Broncos Draft Tight End to Boost Offense

0:00On April 4th, the Denver Broncos are stacking their deck this offseason after a tough AFC championship loss. They re-signed running back JK Dobbins in linebackers, Alex Singleton and Justin Stronad to lock in their core. Then they dropped a first round, third round, and fourth round pick to Snag receiver Jalen Waddle, making their offense even deadlier under Sean. Peyton. But one spot still bugs them, Tideen. This year they grabbed two-time pro-bolaer Evan Engram to spark things up, but he fell flat with under 500 receiving yards and just one big. Game. Now a 31 with only one year left on his deal, his production might dip more, leaving a gap. Fans are vocal about it, disappointed after the hype around Engram. The rest of the Tideen crew like Adam Trautman, Nate Atkins, and Lucas Crow are solid blockers, but not the past catching stars Denver needs. Long term. With a young squad on the rise, this could hold back their contention push.

1:01Looking at the 2026 draft, Eli Stauer stands out with his 4.5 140 yard dash, 45.5 inch vertical, and the best broad jump for a Tideen since 2003, he's the top downfield threat after the number one guy. If he's there in round two, they should pound spare him with Waddle and Cortland Sutton for nightmares on defense. Other options like Michael Trigg, Oscar Delp, Max Clare, and Justin Jolie could fit in round four, each bringing size, speed, or reliable hands. Free agency Lex Youngstuds worth the cash, so drafting their future Tideen now keeps the Broncos primed for a deep run, and maybe that Lombardi. Chase.
