With the NFL draft coming up fast, at the Denver Broncos' Dove Valley think tank, there is much thought being given to the players in the selection process.
In a roundup of five positions of need from NFL.com's Dan Parr, he laid out what he believes to be the biggest five needs for each team, including the Broncos.
The five positions Parr pinpointed were defensive line, tight end, defensive back, linebacker and offensive line.
To Parr's point, tight end and linebacker may be the two positions of need Denver could focus on with their first selection at 62nd overall. Among the players the Broncos have been linked to are Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers and Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter.
Denver could also move to address its offensive line, as it is an aging group.
It's hard to imagine the Broncos addressing their defensive back room, as it features Pro Bowler Pat Surtain, Riley Moss and 2025 season hero, Ja'Quan McMillian, plus 2025 first-round draft pick Jahdae Barron.
The NFL draft will take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
