Broncos Draft Tight Ends for Long-Term Upgrade

0:00On March 27th, the Denver Broncos are making waves at Titan this off season. They've resigned Adam Trautman, Nate Atkins, and Lucas Crowe to run it back with the same group that ranked near the bottom last year. Counting on 7th round rookie Caleb Loner, to step up big after just one season, feels like a stretch. Free agency saw the Titan market dry up fast, leaving mostly older veterans who skills have faded. Caleb's focus to the 2026 draft, which has a solid class of prospects. The catch is most Titan's need two or three years to make an impact in the pros. Fans and analysts see the risk here, especially after the Broncos traded away their first and third round picks for Jalen Waddle. Still, the team plans to meet with prospects like Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers, showing their scouting receivers who can mismatch defenses, even if blocking needs work. Later rounds offer options too, like Baylor's Michael Trigg, with his huge catch radius, Stanford Sam Roush as a strong blocker, or Notre Dame's Eli.

1:03Rared on, if his knee holds up, guys like Texas A&M's, Nate Boercourtcher and Ohio State's Will Cook Mark stand out for elite blocking down the stretch. With patience key to building this position, the Broncos are playing the long game through the draft to finally upgrade a weak spot.
