Daniel Jeremiah ranks prospects at Broncos' top positions of need

Going into the 2025 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos' biggest long-term needs on offense are running back, wide receiver and tight end.

On defense, the Broncos do not have pressing needs at safety, linebacker or on the defensive line, but if a top prospect from one of those positions fell to them at the right spot, Denver could improve its depth on defense with a first- or second-round pick.

In his latest big board of the top 50 prospects in this year's class, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah included five running backs, four wide receivers, four tight ends, three defensive linemen, two safeties and two linebackers.

With the possibility of at least two quarterbacks going off the board in the first round, there's a decent chance that the Broncos could land two players on Jeremiah's big board of top 50 prospects with their first two picks.

Here's a quick look at the RBs, TEs, WRs, DLs, DBs and LBs on Jeremiah's big board who could be targets for Denver at pick Nos. 20 (first round) or 51 (second round).
