The Denver Broncos have stirred up considerable intrigue this offseason with their quarterback situation taking center stage following Russell Wilson’s departure.

Speculation runs rife regarding their plans for the pivotal QB position in 2024. Without a clear-cut QB1 on their current roster and a first-round draft pick lying outside the top five, securing a premier quarterback prospect might prove challenging for the Broncos.

However, amidst the quarterback quandary, the Broncos remain committed to bolstering their roster. A recent meeting with 2024 NFL Draft running back Ray Davis, as highlighted by Ryan McFadden, underscores their proactive approach.

Davis has garnered significant attention in recent weeks, potentially impacting his draft stock in the lead-up to the draft. Despite the consensus view that this year’s running back class falls short compared to previous seasons, the free-agent market for running backs has seen heightened activity, suggesting a nuanced evaluation of available talents.

The forthcoming draft will be telling, particularly in the early rounds, regarding the number of running backs selected. Should the Broncos be impressed by Davis, there’s a chance he could emerge as a third-round steal, offering valuable depth to their backfield.

Considering Javonte Williams’ ongoing recovery, drafting Davis could prove a prudent move for the Broncos, fortifying their ground game and providing insurance at the position.

It will be very intriguing to monitor the Denver Broncos leading up to and during the 2024 NFL Draft. They have a lot of decisions to make and a lot of needs to fill.
