4. Running Back

After the Broncos released C.J. Anderson and let Jamaal Charles walk in free agency, they announced to the rest of the NFL world that they were going to take on a youth movement at the running back position.

Though Devontae Booker has plenty of experience in his first two years in the NFL, he hasn’t quite been the guy we thought he could be coming out of Utah.

De’Angelo Henderson looks like a stud, but those two guys are the only players the Broncos have on the roster at running back. They need depth, and they need someone who can potentially be that featured back if called upon.

The team is obviously high on Saquon Barkley, but they’ve brought in other top backs like Rashaad Penny and Ronald Jones II for pre-draft visits.
