In terms of the upcoming NFL draft, Kosmider believes it is probably more likely that the Broncos &#8220;will search for young depth at RB on Day 3&#8221; after they took <a class=\"rbPlayer nfl\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/nfl\/player\/25944\/RJ+Harvey\" data-id=\"25944\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RJ Harvey<\/a> in the second round in 2025. A veteran RB probably won&#8217;t be necessary if Denver chooses to re-sign <a class=\"rbPlayer nfl\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/nfl\/player\/21674\/J.K.+Dobbins\" data-id=\"21674\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">J.K. Dobbins<\/a> (foot), but he&#8217;s more likely to walk in free agency after suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 10. Harvey took over as the team&#8217;s lead back down the stretch and into the playoffs last year after Dobbins&#8217; injury, but it sounds as though the Broncos want to complement him in the backfield in 2026 instead of featuring him as the clear RB1.&#8211;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/keithghernandezgmail-com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Keith Hernandez<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7075635\/2026\/03\/02\/broncos-big-board-2026-nfl-draft\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Athletic &#8211; Nick Kosmider<\/a>                <\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broncos Expected to &#8220;Closely Examine&#8221; Veteran RB Market Share: Link copied to clipboard!
