As recently as late March, some mock drafts had Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty falling all the way to the Denver Broncos at pick No. 20 in the first round. With the draft now less than three weeks away, that feels like a very unrealistic scenario, but surprising drops have happened before.

Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon puts forth a "dream scenario" for the 2025 NFL draft where the Denver Broncos land Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty.

Denver’s beefed up its defense with the signings of linebacker Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga, and gave second-year quarterback Bo Nix another weapon in tight end Evan Engram. Do they pursue a running back? As columnist Troy Renck writes, “a dynamic runner is the only thing preventing the Broncos from passing the Chiefs next season.”
