Broncos Target Georgia LB CJ Allen as Ideal 30th-Overall Pick

Denver owns the 30th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and appears ready to target Georgia linebacker CJ Allen after the Combine. Analysts highlight Allen’s high football IQ, leadership, and fit as a “green dot” middle linebacker — a natural long-term starter for a Broncos defense that wants improved communication and run defense. Lance Zierlein’s profile reinforces his three-down potential, while the team may still explore free-agent moves (including potential re-signing of Alex Singleton) to round out the linebacker corps.

Broncos Probe Linebacker Talent at the Combine

Denver Broncos used the NFL Scouting Combine to interview several top linebacker prospects, including Ohio State’s Sonny Styles, Texas Tech’s Jacob Rodriguez, Missouri’s Jake Golday, and Josiah Trotter, signaling a heavy offseason focus on the position as veterans Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad hit free agency and Dre Greenlaw battled injuries. The team could address the need via free agency, re-signings, or a strong draft haul, with Rodriguez, Golday, and Trotter viewed as viable Day 2 options and Styles likely off the table due to a top‑15 projection. Broncos also reportedly spoke with other linebackers like CJ Allen, Anthony Hill Jr, and Kyle Louis, indicating multiple potential picks in a loaded draft.

Klint Kubiak’s Raiders gig tests a Broncos family legacy

Denver Post columnists argue Klint Kubiak faces a steep rebuild in Las Vegas, leveraging his Broncos family ties while navigating a franchise with a history of coaching turnover. The piece notes his potential influence on the offense and roster moves (including Crosby, a hypothetical quarterback pick, and cap-space strategy) under GM John Spytek, in a brutal AFC West, with mixed optimism about whether Vegas’ luck can improve under his leadership.

Broncos Eye Davis Webb as Front-Runner for Offensive Coordinator Role

Denver formally interviewed Davis Webb for the Broncos’ vacant offensive coordinator job, with Webb widely viewed as the leading candidate after the dismissal of Joe Lombardi. Webb had previously been in the mix for other roles, including Raiders head coach, but is now poised to return to Denver in an expanded role. Key questions remain about whether he will handle play-calling, and an official announcement is expected soon after Rooney Rule compliance is completed.

Paton Rumor Circulation: Broncos GM Could Face Vikings Vacancy

The Athletic reported Broncos GM George Paton’s name is circulating in discussions about the Minnesota Vikings’ GM vacancy, though he remains under contract with Denver through 2026 and talks of a long‑term extension have been mentioned. Paton has fostered a productive partnership with coach Sean Payton and overseen a successful drafting period, making a move elsewhere possible but unlikely unless circumstances change.

Webb steps back from Raiders HC hunt, eyes Broncos OC path

Davis Webb has withdrawn from the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching search, clearing the way for other candidates as signs point to Klint Kubiak as the Raiders’ preferred option. Webb remains a hot offensive coordinator candidate, with the Broncos firing OC Joe Lombardi and reportedly wanting to promote Webb, while teams including the Ravens and Giants have requested OC interviews (the Eagles had just filled their OC role). Webb could benefit from another year under Sean Payton, but a move back to Denver isn’t guaranteed as other teams may offer play‑calling opportunities; the situation is expected to unfold in the coming days after the Super Bowl.

Maye's Broncos Film Breaks Injury Hype: Footwork Under Pressure to Blame

A film breakdown of Drake Maye's performance vs the Broncos argues his accuracy struggles come from footwork and pressure rather than a shoulder injury, which doctors deem non-serious and unlikely to affect Super Bowl LX. The analysis notes multiple sacks (three in the game, 15 over three games), misses tied to rushed throws, and cites sources including JT O'Sullivan to support the conclusion that no injury is impairing play.

Late fourth-down gambles redefine the conference championships for Broncos and Rams

In the conference championship games, late fourth-down decisions and special-teams miscues shaped the outcomes: Rams coach Sean McVay's two questionable calls contributed to a 31-27 loss to the Seahawks, while the Broncos were undone by a snow-influenced, blocked field goal after a costly fourth-down attempt against the Patriots; a muffed punt by the Rams also set up a Seahawks score, underscoring how coaching and special teams decided the weekend's results.
