Florio’s report is via a “source who keeps his finger squarely on the pulse of the league.” The report also has Hampton as the RB3 behind Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson. It continues to look like it could be a three-back first round, though only Ashton Jeanty in the top 5-6 seems certain. Hampton is probably still a light favorite to come off the board before Henderson.

Florio’s report is via a “source who keeps his finger squarely on the pulse of the league.” It’s not the first time the Broncos have been linked to Henderson, though they are also viewed as a possible landing spot for fellow RB Omarion Hampton. One thing is clear: Denver is coming away from this weekend with a new runner, likely in the first 2-3 rounds. It would not be surprising if that indeed ends up the first round itself.

There has been a steady Bears/Jeanty drumbeat this week, but the gifted runner isn’t going to fall to No. 10 overall. Ergo, trade up rumors. There seems to be no shortage of picks-desperate teams willing to trade down. Chicago can probably pull this off if it really wants to. The question, as always, is at what price. The speculation, thankfully, will end in a few hours.

Stefanski also said, via a team transcript on Wednesday, that he had a conversation with Hunter, stating "(Travis) gets up at 5 in the morning quite often, so that’s not a problem for him in terms of maximizing his day.” Over the past two seasons at Colorado, Hunter averaged an FBS-high 111.5 snaps per game when no other player has averaged more than 78 since at least 2015, per NFL Research. The Browns currently have the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and are heavily favored to take Hunter.

Raanan posted this in reference to Adam Schefter reporting the Broncos are fielding offers for the No. 20 overall pick. If either the Giants or Browns move back into the first round for a quarterback, it’s looking increasingly likely that player will be Dart. A team trading with Denver would leap the quarterback-needy Steelers, who are also a contender to take Dart or one of the other first-round hopeful passers. The buzz around Dart also has Shedeur Sanders’ stock falling. The Colorado passer could wind up going early in the second round despite once being a contender for the No. 1 overall pick.

The deal is worth “up to” $6 million. Going on 33, Lockett is no longer a needle-mover following several seasons of decline in Seattle, but he does help deepen one of the league’s worst receiver corps ahead of Thursday’s expected addition of new franchise quarterback Cam Ward. Held under 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons, Lockett should not expect his WR3 fortunes to revive under the rookie quarterback. This is a classic move that could be more impactful in real life than fantasy. A leader with a decade of experience, Lockett will supply a sounding board and sure pair of hands in Nashville.

Joseph gets an average annual value of $21.5 million per year and is now the highest-paid safety in the league. The former third-round pick turns 25 this upcoming season and is coming off his first-career All-Pro year. He intercepted a league-high nine passes and totaled 83 tackles as a key piece of the Lions secondary. Joseph has 17 career interceptions and 31 passes defended through three seasons. The Lions lock up a young star for their defense with an extension for Aidan Hutchinson also due soon.

She notes that the Rams, who currently hold the No. 26 pick, may have to move up to land their guy. The Rams made an effort to move up for Brock Bowers last year but couldn’t get a deal done. They instead looked to the other side of the ball and drafted Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse. With both Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland projected to go well within the top 20 picks, LA would have to move up to have a shot at either player. Russini also noted that the Jets could be in the mix for Warren with the No. 7 overall pick. Even if the Rams move up, they aren’t likely to be in play for the Mackey Award winner. Loveland, on the other hand, could be in their budget.

Led by first-time general manager John Spytek, the Vegas front office, per Russini, has spent “substantial time” doing “homework” on Jeanty after he rushed for nearly 4,000 yards and 33 touchdowns over his final two seasons at Boise State. There is reportedly some pushback about investing the team’s premium first rounder on Jeanty when it could be used to bolster an offensive line that Pro Football Focus graded as 2024’s 14th-best pass blocking unit and 29th-best run blocking unit. LSU’s Will Campbell and Alabama’s Tyler Booker could be targets for Vegas if they forgo Jeanty in the first. The Bears, according to Russini, are “hoping” Jeanty falls to them at No. 10.
