The Denver Broncos hit a home run by drafting an offensive skill player in the 2nd round of the 2025 NFL draft with running back RJ Harvey.
Harvey ended up scoring 12 touchdowns as a rookie, along with racking up 1,249 all-purpose yards, and did so while serving as the backup to starter J.K. Dobbins for the 1st 10 games of the regular season before Dobbins suffered a season-ending foot injury.
The Broncos should go back to that same well again in 2026 by drafting a skill player in the second round. Specifically, University of Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston, after Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox called the Broncos the “Best Landing Spot” for the 6-foot-4, 212-pound All-Big Ten pick.
Boston played behind future NFL wide receivers Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan, and Ja’Lynn Polk his first 2 seasons before becoming a starter in 2024, and had a breakout season with 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games in 2025.
Over his last 2 seasons, Boston had 125 receptions for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns.
“Boston would fare well with the Denver Broncos,” Knox wrote. “Sean Payton’s offense looks to lean with the run and maximize quick, high-percentage throws, and Boston would be an excellent go-to target for Bo Nix. He could spend a year developing behind Courtland Sutton, and then potentially take his role in 2027. The Broncos could save $22.4 million in cap space by releasing Sutton with a post-June 1 designation next offseason.”
