Broncos Trade for Waddle, Eye Klare in Draft

0:00On April 22nd, the Denver Broncos went all in on offense by trading their first and third round picks to Miami for speedy wide-out Jalen Waddle, making him the centerpiece around young quarterback Bonix. Now, with their second round spot at number 62, a fresh Fox Sports Mod Draft has them grabbing Ohio State Titan Max Claire to build out. That attack even more. Earlier this week, Analyst Rob Rang pointed out how coach Sean Payton loved scene stretches in this deep tight end class, and Claire fits perfect after. The Broncos met him at the scouting combine and hosted a top 30 visit. They got seven picks left, so other names like Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers or George's Oscar Delp could pop up too. Claire is a six foot four, 246 pound Indiana kid who transferred from Purdue, racking of 116 catches for 1,000, 329 yards, and six scores over 32 games. Scouts call him a big slot mover, not your classic inline blocker, which could upgrade Denver slot game over guys like Evan Ingram, who's in his.

1:08Contracts final year. If they snag Claire, he'd jump ahead of depth pieces like Lucas Crowe and Nate Atkins, though it take time to pass Ingram or Adam Trautman. Skip tight end? They might pivot to running back, safety, or even Pittsburgh linebacker Kyle Lewis for that rangel coverage boost on defense. Payton's got options to weaponize Nick's arm this draft, and whether it's Claire stretching the field or another move, the Broncos are stacking talent. Fast keeping fans hyped for that mile high magic. That's your update from NFL news today, powered by AI.
