00:00Okay, RJ Harvey. Dynamic runner, let me just say, UCF runs about a 4-4-40, playing in Gus Malzahn's offense, a run-heavy offense, RJ Harvey's a home-run hitter. He could take it from point A to point B. If you're thinking about a poor man's Travion Henderson, RJ Harvey is not far off.
00:21Ben, back to you to talk about the Broncos. Sean Payton continuing to add players that are in his mold to RJ Harvey, the pick.
00:27We knew Denver was targeting a running back cap at some point here in the 2025 NFL Draft. We thought it might have been at 20 last night.
00:35They take the Thorpe Award winner from last year's college football season, John A. Barron, out of Texas, addressing the defensive secondary.
00:43But here in round number two, with their first pick of the night, they do get that running back, RJ Harvey, out of UCF.
00:49How important was it for the Broncos to fill that running back room this offseason?
00:53They had to do it. I mean, I know people wanted Cam Scataboo to go here. I get it. I totally get it.
00:59I could not believe they didn't go with Hampton in the first round. That stunned me.
01:02But I'll be honest with you, Harvey's more of a change-up. You know, he's not the biggest guy in the world, but he's explosive.
01:07Probably going to need to team him up with a bigger back. Now, they do have Aldrick Estime, the bigger back, but he's not explosive.
01:13A 10-7 record for Bo Nix and Sean Payton this past season in 2024.
01:19Nix's rookie campaign, second year at Mile High for Sean Payton.
01:24Win total cap, 9.5 for Denver, entering 2025.
01:27How crucial is it for a team that surprises based on expectation a year prior to continue that momentum into the following season?
01:35It is, because you saw the Giants, when they shocked the world in the first year of that coaching staff's team, beat Minnesota.
01:42On the road, they beat the Vikings, and then they fell off.
01:45Can't just rest on your laurels, so to speak, which is where you're going here.
01:48Keep addressing issues.
01:50To me now, if you look at Denver's defense, they need help on the defensive line.
01:54That's one thing they need.
01:56They're good at receiver.
01:57They got Evan Ingram at tight end in free agency.
02:00They just addressed running back.
02:01They probably need one more guy.
02:02They got their quarterback, who I'll admit is a little bit better than most people thought,
02:06including yours truly.
02:07I was there at the senior bowl last year.
02:10Bo Nix is a little bit ahead of schedule.
02:12Sean Payton's an excellent coach.
02:13Saw what he wants.
02:15He wants discipline.
02:16They're building something there, though, with George Payton, the general manager, and Sean together.
02:19Yeah, they certainly are.
02:20And, Blue, when you look at some of these teams, the Broncos, a playoff team in the AFC a year ago.
02:25Obviously, the Ravens were as well.
02:27Baltimore, as of this moment, the favorite to win the AFC championship, entering 2025.
02:32Ahead of both Buffalo and Kansas City.
