cup1688 Payton reveals Broncos plan to draft more running backs

cup1688 The Denver Broncos are focused on selecting a running back in next week’s draft, the Broncos head coach confirmed.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said the Broncos are focused on selecting a running back in the 2025 draft, which begins Thursday, NFL Network reported. cup1688

The Broncos currently have a backfield group that includes Jaleel McLaughlin, Odrik Estime, Tyler Bedie, undrafted 2024 wide receiver Blake Watson and fullback Michael Burton, and Peyton hasn’t ruled out drafting a running back in the first round, in line with the Broncos’ No. 20 overall pick.

“I think it comes down to your vision and your vision for the player,” Payton said when asked about drafting running backs in the first round. “I think there’s this feeling a lot of times that there are certain positions that are more available in the offseason than others.”

‘But you’ve got to look at the talent. I remember taking (former New Orleans Saints running back) Reggie (Bush), and that was definitely a step up, and (former Saints running back) Mark (Ingram), our plan was to take Mark (No.) 22, and then (Saints defensive end) Cam Jordan was ours. We still didn’t want to forget about Ingram, and then we traded backs.’

‘So I think if you have a really clear vision of how you want to use them, I think it’s just a team feeling of what the talent and type of player is, we think he can have a good career. But sometimes it’s just the draft that happens. Sometimes when you don’t pick someone, it doesn’t mean you don’t want to pick someone, it just might be another position that comes up. So it really depends on your team and the specific player. ( cup1688 )
