Broncos Weigh Trade-Deadline Moves for Offense

The Broncos are weighing whether to address running back and offensive-line needs before the trade deadline, but their first six games and the next stretch of the schedule may clarify whether changes are necessary. One analysis argues Denver should avoid trading a first-round pick for Jonathan Taylor, citing the cost and his substantial contract, while another suggests Taylor could be available if Indianapolis starts a broader rebuild. Quenton Nelson, an expiring-contract All-Pro guard, is presented as a more targeted option: a proposed deal would send Indianapolis a conditional 2027 third-round pick that could rise to a second-rounder based on Denver’s playoff success. Whether Denver makes a move may depend on improved play from its offensive line and running game, including J.K. Dobbins.
