Recent NFL mock drafts suggest that the Denver Broncos, under head coach Sean Payton, are considering trading up in the first round to acquire a versatile offensive weapon. One prominent target is Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, who stands at 6’5″. In a mock draft by Dan Parr of NFL.com, the Broncos are projected to trade up to the 15th overall pick to select Warren. Parr notes that Warren’s skill set aligns with Payton’s offensive strategies, drawing parallels to former tight end Jeremy Shockey, whom Payton coached during his tenure with the Giants and Saints. citeturn0search0
Another potential prospect is Michigan tight end Colston Loveland. Gennaro Filice of NFL.com predicts that the Broncos might trade up to the 13th spot to draft Loveland, highlighting his modern pass-catching abilities that could fit Payton’s vision for a “joker” role in the offense. citeturn0search2
Both Warren and Loveland offer unique skills that could enhance the Broncos’ offensive dynamics, providing quarterback Bo Nix with additional playmaking options.
