Blazers' lack of fan T-shirts invites questions
Portland Trail Blazers to skip fan T-shirts for playoff games
The Broncos are gearing up for the 2026 NFL Draft, discussing potential prospects to select. Key names include Eli Stowers, Anthony Hill Jr., and Kage Casey among others.
Iām intrigued by Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers. I know thereās extra projection involved with him and that he still needs more development at the position than youād like to see for a probable second-round pick. But he seems like exactly the kind of do-it-all offensive weapon Sean Payton likes. A converted quarterback, I could absolutely see him being a new Taysom Hill. And while that may not lead to statistical excellence at any one specific role, it stresses defenses and can open up opportunities for the offense. **Tim Lynch** The more I see of Anthony Hill Jr, the more I want Denver to figure out a way to get him on this roster under Vance Joseph. Itās time for Denver to find that 10-year beast at the ILB position. Itās been a long time since theyāve had a guy like that inside. Go get him! **Ross Allen** If the Broncos can get their hands on him, then Iād be a huge fan of them drafting Boise Stateās Kage Casey. Heās a two-time 2nd Team All-American and a big guy at 6ā6ā and 310 pounds. He is athletic, strong, very durable, and is known by his teammates as a work horse. Also, Denver has good history when it comes to offensive linemen from Boise State. **Sadaraine** Since my dream of Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq died when the Bronocs traded for Jaylen Waddle, Iām with many others in thinking that Eli Stowers makes a lot of sense of he is there in the second round. We donāt need an immediate fix at tight end, and he has a ton of upside from I have seen. **Christopher Hart** Iām also a big fan of Anthony Hill Jr. and Eli Stowers. Those were two players that I identified early on in my Future Broncos segments last fall as great fits for the Broncos. Stowersā profile aligns with the big bodied, athletic pass catcher Head Coach Sean Payton covets and Hill Jr. is a fantastic fit for Josephās defensive scheme with his blitzing prowess, range, and penchant for creating turnovers.
If the Broncos wanted to draft a running back, I think that Washington standout Jonah Coleman is a great fit and believe Kayton Allen of Penn State would be a good insurance policy for J.K. Dobbins. My gut tells me Coleman finds a home on Day 2, whereas Allen is more of an early Day 3 pick.
On the defensive line, Iām a big fan of Missouriās Chris McClellan as a prospect who can come in and eventually help offset the departure of John Franklin-Myers. He is someone the Broncosā brass has shown a lot of interest in. I like Drew Shelton and Jude Bowry as developmental offensive tackle prospects.

Michigan defender Jaishawn Barham fits the mold of hybrid prospect Vance Joseph values. Other prospects of interest are Sam Roush, Marlin Klein, and Jack Endries at tight end. Defensive backs Kamari Ramsey, Bishop Fitzgerald, and Jalon Kilgore also seem like nice fits for Denver. Iād be pretty stoked if a handful of these guys wound be being Broncos by the end of the draft. ***What do you think, Broncos Country?*** Who are some of your favorite prospects you would like to see the Broncos select in the 2026 NFL Draft?
