Should the Broncos be OUT on the Jonathan Taylor sweepstakes? Who else SHOULD they target?

The Broncos keep giving Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay reasons to believe a Super Bowl run is possible—but will Denver make a move to strengthen that opportunity? On The Drive, the guys argue that adding a running back could provide the biggest immediate boost to this offense.

Zach explains why, for this particular team, he would prioritize the backfield over a franchise tight end. Phil points to Evan Engram’s encouraging performance as evidence that Denver can get more from its current passing weapons by involving them early and building confidence.

The discussion then turns to finding help for Jonah Coleman. Whether it’s Tony Pollard’s change-of-pace ability or Jonathan Taylor’s big-play potential, the guys explore how another rushing threat could force defenses to respect the ground game and create more opportunities downfield.

But believing Denver needs a move isn’t the same as expecting one. Phil predicts Taylor will be traded somewhere while expressing doubt that the Broncos will add a running back before the deadline. Those are his predictions—not confirmation of a deal or Denver’s plans—and they set up a debate about urgency, roster confidence and Sean Payton’s approach.
