Speaking of adding more playmakers to the offense, Joseph specifically stated his desire for the team to ‘add more juice’ offensively, and that’s what we as fans love to hear.

Of course, one of the main players that has been discussed all offseason is Stanford star Christian McCaffrey, who is one of the best playmakers in the entire draft class. It’s becoming more and more apparent that McCaffrey will not be on the board when the Broncos are on the clock, so who else could be an impact player?

We’ve looked at the possibility of adding players like John Ross, Evan Engram, O.J. Howard, Joe Mixon, and a number of other stud playmakers in this year’s draft. There are plenty, especially at tight end and running back.

It’s imperative the Broncos make those two positions priorities within their first four or five selections. The talent pool in this draft is rich in general, but the running back and tight end positions are absolutely loaded.
