Denver Broncos made a strategic shift during Day 2 of the NFL Draft, focusing on bolstering their offense initially with quarterback Bo Nix, running back RJ Harvey, and wide receiver Pat Bryant. However, they concluded with a key defensive addition by selecting LSU edge rusher Sai'vion Jones at pick 101, a move reflective of their need for depth on the defensive line. The Broncos traded multiple picks to secure this selection, evidencing their aggressive approach to improving their roster.

At 6'5" and 280 pounds, Jones brings a unique physicality to Denver's edge position, where they are looking for versatility. Despite his struggles against the run, highlighted by 12 missed tackles in 2024, his 43 pressures demonstrate his potential as a pass rusher. Broncos GM George Paton emphasized Jones's relentless motor, believing he will integrate well with their defensive unit. With many current defensive linemen nearing the end of their contracts, Jones could be pivotal in the team's future.
