NFL Draft expert flirted with a wild running back scenario for the Broncos

The Denver Broncos biggest need heading into the 2026 NFL Offseason is running back, period. Without establishing a strong run game, no team is going to succeed on offense, and that's simply the truth.

For Denver, the team did sport a strong run game for about 10 weeks, but an untimely foot injury ended J.K. Dobbins' efficient season. The bulk of the workload then fell on the shoulders of RJ Harvey, a rookie who really struggled as a down-to-down runner.

It's clear that Harvey left a lot of meat on the bone, as he just was not very efficient outside of stacking short-yardage touchdowns and an explosive run here and there.
