The Denver Broncos sent some major signals over NFL draft weekend.

There's plenty of buzz around Dove Valley given what the Broncos did. But what should fans make of it all and what it means for the Broncos going forward?1. Payton & Paton's Fates Now Tied to Nix

After Paton's blockbuster trade to acquire Russell Wilson, Payton stepped in the following year and tried to cater his offense to accommodate the veteran QB. But with Wilson jettisoned, the two might not get a second chance. The same could be said about the selection of running back Audric Estimé. The Notre Dame product is strong between the tackles, thus he's the type of player they could use in the run game. Given the Broncos added four players on offense in addition to Nix — including seventh-round wideout Devaughn Vele and offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo — it's a sign they want to give Nix what he needs to have the best chance of success.

The Broncos acquired John Franklin-Myers, who has been a productive player for the Jets for the past four seasons. Though Franklin-Myers' first year with the Jets saw him spend much of the season on injured reserve, he has stayed healthy, and since claiming a starting job in 2021, he's never missed a start.

With their top two players set to become free agents in 2025, drafting a running back makes sense for the Broncos. Depending on how things go in training camp, Denvercould cut either player, because neither Williams nor Perine have any guaranteed money left.
