Broncos may draft running back Ashton Jeanty first

The Denver Broncos are looking to strengthen their team in the upcoming NFL draft. They are considering drafting Ashton Jeanty, a standout running back from Boise State. Jeanty had an impressive season, rushing for 4,769 yards. Last year, the Broncos selected quarterback Bo Nix, and now they might add another Heisman candidate. According to CBS Sports, they need to replace running back Javonte Williams after he was signed by the Dallas Cowboys. The Broncos currently have Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime competing for the position. Jeanty and another potential pick, Omarion Hampton from North Carolina, are being eyed as primary targets for the first round of the draft next month. The Broncos are aiming to build on their recent playoff appearance, even after a tough loss against the Buffalo Bills. Adding Jeanty could help the Broncos become playoff contenders again. Drafting a running back makes sense as many players can quickly become successful but often have short careers. If Jeanty joins the team, he could transition from a college playoff team to a likely NFL playoff team.
