Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq is by far the best tight end in the draft, but who’s No. 2?

It depends on who you ask.

“If you go to 32 teams (in the NFL), it’s almost like Baskin-Robbins 31 flavors, you might get 32 different answers on who they like,’’ said NFL Network draft analyst Charles Davis.

In the April 23-25 draft in Pittsburgh, Sadiq likely will be the only tight end taken in the first round. After the first round, the Broncos will be one of the teams carefully looking at how the tight end order goes after that.

The Broncos aren’t in line to pick until the No. 62 selection in the second round, and tight end is perhaps their biggest want on offense. Broncos’ tight ends combined in 2025 for a pedestrian 70 catches for 719 yards and they have yet to bring in a new player at the position.

Also on offense, the Broncos are expected to look at some point in the draft for a running back and are a good bet to pick up an offensive lineman. Coming off a 14-3 season, Denver also has two picks in the fourth round, one in the fifth and three in the seventh round.

While the Broncos were No. 3 in the NFL in scoring defense, they were just No. 14 in scoring offense. But they did add explosive wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in a trade last month with Miami.

At tight end, the Broncos could look to trade up in the second round for a prospect they really like. Considered by many analysts to be the next three tight ends after Sadiq are, in whatever order, Vanderbilt’s Eli Stowers, Georgia’s Oscar Delp and Ohio State’s Max Klare.

The 6-foot-4, 239-pound Stowers caught 62 passes for 769 yards in 2025. He needs work on his pass blocking but wowed scouts at the combine with his athleticism. That included having a vertical leap of 45.5 inches.

“That makes him very intriguing,’’ Davis said. “He has great potential as a pass catcher. He might be tight end two (in the draft) if you value the pass catching more than anything else.”

The 6-5, 245-pound Delp caught 20 passes for 261 yards in 2025 on a deep Bulldogs team.

“I think that was a guy who was underutilized but when you go to a place like Georgia, it is hard sometimes because they have so many talented people,’’ Davis said. “He’s almost like a fullback (with his blocking ability).”

Klare caught 43 passes for 448 yards last season for the Buckeyes. That followed having 51 grabs for 685 yards in 2024 for Big Ten rival Purdue.

Other tight ends the Broncos could consider in the draft include Cincinnati’s Joe Royer, North Carolina State’s Justin Joly and Stanford’s Sam Roush.

The Broncos bring back tight end Evan Engram, but he was a bit of a disappointment in 2025 after having signed as a marquee free agent. They re-signed Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull. But they would welcome bringing in a rookie tight end with an upside.

The running back situation in the draft also is muddled after the first round. Notre Dame star Jeremiyah Love is expected to be taken in the top five and his backup, Jadarian Price, also could squeeze into the first round as the second-best back. But after that, there is a big gap and differing opinions on the best remaining backs.

The Broncos might not look for a running back in the second round after having re-signed J.K. Dobbins, who rushed for 774 yards in 10 games before being lost for the season with a foot injury. If they do, one possibility could be Arkansas’ Mike Washington, who rushed for 1,070 yards in 2025 and then ran the 40 at the combine in 4.33 seconds.

“I think a lot of the stuff he does is effortless,’’ said draft analyst Corey Chavous, a former NFL safety who is the nephew of former Denver defensive lineman Corey Chavous and who publishes “Draft Nasty.” “But he needs to improve in pass protection.”

If the Broncos look for a back past the second round, possibilities could include Nebraska’s Emmett Johnson (1,451 yards in 2025), Washington’s Jonah Coleman (758 yards) and Indiana’s Kaelon Black (1,040 yards).

Chavous, though, stressed that Denver needs a big running back since Dobbins, R.J. Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie don’t fit that bill. He pointed at Clemson’s 6-3, 232-pound Adam Randall, who ran for 814 yards in 2025 after moving from wide receiver.

“Being a former wide receiver, you know he’s able to catch the ball,’’ Chavous said. “He’s still developing as a runner in terms of some of his instincts but I thought he got better as the year went on. He ran to his size.”

The Broncos figure to pick up at least one offensive lineman in the draft, perhaps on Day 3. At the scouting combine, they talked to a pair of Colorado high school products in Texas A&M’s Trey Zuhn, who played at Fossil Ridge High in Fort Collins, and Washington’s Carver Willis, who played at Durango High.

Chavous called Zuhn “one of my favorite players in the draft” due to his versatility. He played tackle and center in college and also could be available as a guard in the NFL.

While Willis played tackle in college, Chavous said “his flexibility could help him” since he also could line up at guard in the NFL.

The Broncos, meanwhile, could use some help on offense. Stay tuned to see how it shakes out.
