Broncos' Vets on Edge as Draft Looms

On April 3rd, the NFL draft is looming for the Denver Broncos, and a bunch of veterans

are on edge about losing snaps or even their spots.

We're talking Titan's Lucas Crowell and Nate Atkins, running back to Jolue McLaughlin

and Tyler Beatty, linebacker Drew Sanders, and safety Brandon, Jones.

These guys had rough 20-25 seasons with low stats, injuries, and not much impact, while

the Broncos eye upgrades from a stacked draft.

At Titan is the weakest spot on offense.

Crowell played just three games due to injury and has only 29 catches in four years.

Atkins managed 24 receptions, but missed time too.

With Evan Ingram and Adam Trotman locked in, these two could get pushed out by rookies.

Meanwhile, the running back room got crowded after resigning JK Dovins and rookie RJ Harby

shining.

McLaughlin was a healthy scratch most of the year, rushing 37 times for 187 yards.

Body struggled in past protection with just eight carries for 23 yards.

Even in a thin class, better options lurk for that third down roll.

Over on defense, Sanders battles constant injuries like an Achilles tear and ankle issue, barely

seeing the field behind stars.

Coach Sean Payton even plans to shift Ed rusher Jonah Ellis inside.

Jones tore his peck late in the season, got shut down with no updates, and his inconsistent

play has fans and brass worried about depth, especially, with Talonoa HaFonga's history.

As the draft kicks off in three weeks, the Broncos are primed to refresh these spots, chasing

that Super Bowl 61 run by betting on fresh talent.
