Mile High Report
The 2025 NFL Combine kicks off next week. What are some things fans of the Denver Broncos should be focusing on? Let’s discuss.
The 2025 NFL Combine is right in front of us. Who doesn’t love the combine? It’s a focal point of the offseason for every team and one of the most important aspects of the draft board building process. Every team in the league will be present to watch the workouts, interview the players, and get more in-depth information on their medical reports.
While the official workouts begin on Thursday, February 27th teams and prospects will be there before hand. Denver Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton and General Manager George Paton are scheduled to meet with the media on Tuesday afternoon.
With that in mind, I figured I’d offer up some pre-combine thoughts about the Broncos and what we might reasonably expect this week. As always, feel free to give your opinions in the comments section. Draft season is officially upon us!
It’s no secret, the Broncos will be scouting jokers for Sean Payton’s offense.
A few months separate us from the 2025 NFL Draft, but it isn’t a big surprise as to what one of the Broncos’ biggest missions this offseason is.

Whether it’s Day 1 or Day 2, Denver should have no trouble finding contributors at either position that can make a difference for the team as rookies.
Running back is the position poised for the most immediate return on the investment. There could be upwards of 10 prospects selected at the position in the first three rounds. On top of that, there should even great value well into Day 3. From what draft analysts and scouts are saying, this could be a historic running back draft class. There’s no doubt Denver will be coming away with one of the best prospects at the position. The only question is who it will be—or maybe they snag a couple?
As far as tight end goes, I would expect about five or six guys to make their way into Top 100 consideration. Is there a Brock Bowers level prospect in this class? Perhaps. Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland, the definitive top two at the position, certainly have the ability to be fixtures in any NFL offense.
If Payton and Co. believe either one of the aforementioned can be a fixture in the team’s passing attack immediately, I have no doubt they will be high on the Broncos’ wish list. Though perhaps the team feels confident in getting relative production from who is left on Day 2 considering the lack of historical success from...
