WE HAVE OUR FIRST TRADE!
The Denver Broncos have traded up into the highest 10 with the Chicago Bears. Is it possibly as a result of a sure crazy-productive operating again has managed to fall a bit additional than anticipated?
Coming into the 2025 NFL Draft, Denver has plenty of notable gamers throughout their roster. One space they may at all times stand to enhance is the ability positions round budding star Bo Nix, most notably the operating again spot following Javonte Williams signing with the Cowboys in free company. Now, the group is led by Jaleel McLaughlin and 2024 draft choose Audric Estime.
Certain seems like Denver desires a brand new operating again to pair with Nix, and if you happen to guessed that to be the choose, then congrats. You probably did it. Spherical of applause.
With the tenth choose within the SB Nation Neighborhood Mock Draft, Scotty Payne of Mile Excessive Report has chosen Boise State operating again Ashton Jeanty.
10.) Denver Broncos: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Payne: Jeanty is a dream choose for the Broncos and I couldn’t move up the chance to maneuver up and choose him. He would give Sean Payton the ‘Joker’ he’s on the lookout for at RB whereas giving QB Bo Nix the operating recreation he was missing final season. I feel Jeanty may be an All-Professional participant his rookie season for the Broncos and assist their offense take that subsequent step and problem the Chiefs for the AFC West title this upcoming season.
Evaluation: Plenty of mock drafts not too long ago have paired Jeanty with the Raiders. Las Vegas might sorely use a expertise like him to pair with new quarterback Geno, Smith however he finally ends up coming off the board at 10 the place Denver couldn’t move up the prospect to draft the falling blue-chipper. That is only a nice choose throughout by the Broncos for seizing the second and realizing they won’t get a greater likelihood to present their younger quarterback an elite speeding expertise that he can lean on when he’s not on the prime of his recreation.
Prime 5 remaining gamers:
- Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
- Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
- Malaki Starks, S Georgia
- James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
- Mike Inexperienced, EDGE, Marshall
The highest operating again is lastly off the board as we exit the highest 10 picks of the draft. CB1, TE1, and SAF1 are all nonetheless obtainable, together with tons of elite expertise at numerous different positions. The 49ers are up subsequent and following their mass exodus of gamers by way of this 12 months’s free company interval, it will likely be fascinating to see which place they deal with to kickstart a little bit of a retooling part in San Francisco. Kyle Shanahan has at all times appreciated good play within the trenches. Might he find yourself taking Trent Williams’ eventual substitute? You’ll have to remain tuned to search out out!
