In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos and react to Bill Barnwell's article in which he predicts the Broncos to regress. We look back at Barnwell's impressive history when predicting teams to regress or improve. Will the Broncos be able to mostly avoid the injury bug again for the third straight season? What is the most important game on the schedule for the Broncos to avoid a decline? What do the guys make of future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner being linked to the Broncos? Would Wagner be accepting of a bench role behind Singleton and Strnad? We hear from our 9News Broncos insider Mike Klis on the Broncos selecting Jahdae Barron in the first round after JaQuan MacMillian struggled, as well as Barron potentially being the nickel corner of the future. We wrap up the show with Justin Adams joining the show to share his thoughts on the Colorado Buffaloes as they enter a massively important season and share his ceiling and floor for the team in 2026.
