Alright Broncos Country, buckle up — the latest buzz from the DNVR Broncos Podcast is turning heads: a mock draft scenario where Denver makes a blockbuster trade to land none other than Breece Hall from the New York Jets.
Yes, that Breece Hall. The lightning-fast, tackle-breaking machine who can turn a simple run play into a highlight-reel moment. It’s a juicy idea. It’s fun to dream. But… is it actually a good move for the Broncos?
Let’s talk about it.
Why It’s Tempting
Look, we all know Sean Payton loves having an elite back. Just ask Alvin Kamara. Imagine giving Payton a weapon like Breece Hall in the backfield. Javonte Williams has heart, but injuries have slowed his rise. Samaje Perine? Solid, but not a game-changer. Hall would instantly become the guy in Denver — a centerpiece to build the offense around while the team figures out the QB situation.
And let’s be honest, the Broncos haven’t had that kind of electric running threat since… maybe early Philip Lindsay? Or prime C.J. Anderson? Hall changes games. Period.
But Here’s the Catch…
This wouldn’t come cheap. The Jets aren’t exactly desperate to move off Hall. He’s young, explosive, and under contract. That means Denver would likely have to give up a top draft pick — or more. And let’s not forget, the Broncos aren’t exactly swimming in draft capital after the Russell Wilson experiment.
Would trading for a running back — even a great one — be wise when you still don’t know who your long-term QB is? Or when your offensive line needs help? It feels like putting rims on a car with engine trouble.
What Would It Say About the Broncos’ Plan?
If this trade actually happened, it would send a very clear message: Sean Payton and George Paton are going all-in now. It would be a win-now move, even if the rest of the roster still feels like it’s in “figure it out” mode.
And that’s where fans are split. Some love the idea of being aggressive, swinging for the fences. Others want to see a proper rebuild, stockpiling picks, developing young talent, and fixing the foundation first.
Final Thoughts
Personally? I love the idea — in Madden. But in real life, unless the price is shockingly low (which it won’t be), I’d rather see the Broncos use their picks to draft a QB, fix the O-line, and keep building.
That said… if Breece Hall ever did put on that orange and blue? Yeah, I’d be hyped. And so would the rest of Broncos Country.
