Broncos mock draft reaction: Playmaking tight end for Bo Nix a top priority?

New York Times  

When the pre-NFL Draft process began kicking into high gear last winter, tight end Brock Bowers was a name consistently matched with the Denver Broncos. Nix could use a more dangerous target at tight end, though, which is why the selection of Penn State’s Tyler Warren by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler in his latest 2025 mock draft seems like the perfect fit. GO DEEPER 2025 NFL mock draft: Predicting all 32 first-round picks in polarizing class Before we dig further into Warren and his eye-popping stat line this season, it’s worth appreciating for Broncos fans that April’s draft isn’t taking up as much oxygen as it typically does this time of year during the team’s lengthy playoff drought. GO DEEPER Bo Nix, Marvin Mims Jr. and a game-changing Broncos TD pass weeks in the making The Broncos remain near the bottom of the league in receiving production at the tight end position. Leaving the first night of the draft with a versatile tight end who could add new elements to Payton’s offense around Nix seems like a good scenario.
