What if a Jonathan Taylor trade isn't the RIGHT MOVE for the Broncos?
Jonathan Taylor would bring star power to Denver—but would he bring the right fit at the right price? On The Drive, Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay weigh the potential costs of pursuing the Colts’ running back and question whether Tony Pollard could offer a more practical path to improving the Broncos’ offense.
The guys discuss a scenario in which Taylor costs a first-round pick and requires a major financial commitment around the same time Denver could face a payday for Bo Nix. That raises a difficult question: how much should the Broncos invest in one position while protecting their ability to build the rest of the roster?
There’s also the matter of carries. Taylor’s role as a high-volume centerpiece could leave fewer opportunities for standout rookie Jonah Coleman. Zach and Phil contrast that with Pollard’s experience sharing a backfield, exploring whether a committee-friendly addition could strengthen the running game without pushing Coleman aside.
These are potential costs and roster scenarios—not confirmed trade terms or contract plans. The debate is about finding an upgrade that helps Denver now without creating unnecessary problems later.
