Orange and Blue Today

<p>On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dive into Bob McGinn’s anonymous scout intel on the 2026 wide receiver class — and the opinions are strong. This group has talent, but scouts are split on who’s a future star, who’s a role player, and who’s a landmine. The guys break down whether Chris Bell (Louisville) could be one of the best value picks in the draft, with several evaluators believing his injury has pushed him far lower than his true ability. They also dig into the polarizing profile of KC Concepcion (NC State) — is he an ultimate playmaker, or do scouts see a future bust if his game doesn’t translate cleanly to the pros. 🔥 In this episode: What anonymous scouts really think of the 2026 WR class Why Chris Bell could be a massive value coming off injury KC Concepcion: dynamic weapon or risky projection Where the true depth and danger zones are at wide receiver How this intel shapes Denver’s draft approach at the position Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which WR you think is the biggest boom‑or‑bust prospect in this class.</p>

<p>On Friday’s <em>Orange & Blue Today</em>, Cecil Lammey is joined by <strong>Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys</strong> to break down how the Broncos should attack the <strong>2026 NFL Draft</strong> — especially at running back and tight end. With Denver sitting at <strong>pick No. 62</strong>, the big question is whether they’ll target a back early, or wait for value on Day 3.</p> <p>The guys dig into whether <strong>Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price</strong> could realistically fall into Denver’s range, and whether the <strong>second round</strong> is the right spot for a back in this class. Or is the smarter play to wait until the <strong>fourth round</strong>, where several intriguing runners could match Sean Payton’s system. They also dive into the <strong>tight end class</strong>, and whether Denver should prioritize the position <strong>earlier</strong> based on the strength of the group.</p> <p>🔥 <strong>In this episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Will Denver target a running back at No. 62</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Could Jadarian Price slide into the Broncos’ range</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Is Round 4 the sweet spot for RB value in this class</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Should tight end be a higher priority than running back</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>How the class structure shapes Denver’s draft strategy</strong></p> </li> </ul> <p>Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which position YOU want Denver to hit first in the 2026 draft.</p>

<p>On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig back into Bob McGinn’s anonymous scout intel, this time focusing on the tight end class — and the feedback is spicy. What are evaluators really saying about this group behind closed doors, and what truths can be uncovered when scouts speak freely. The guys dive into whether Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) is being viewed by some teams as more wide receiver than tight end, thanks to his movement skills, versatility, and matchup‑friendly athleticism. They also explore the growing buzz around Max Klare (Ohio State) — is he quietly a better player than the public realizes, and could he be one of the biggest value picks at the position. 🔥 In this episode: What anonymous scouts really think of the 2026 TE class Is Eli Stowers being evaluated as a WR in disguise Why Max Klare may be rising faster than people think Where the true value pockets are at tight end How this intel shapes Denver’s draft approach at the position Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which TE you think Denver should target in this class.</p>

<p>On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into Bob McGinn’s latest scout intel on the 2026 running back class — and the reviews are not glowing. After talking with evaluators across the league, McGinn paints a picture of a group that might be overrated, thin at the top, and full of question marks. So what are scouts really saying behind the scenes, and how does that shape the Broncos’ approach. The fellas break down whether there’s true value on Day 3, or if this is simply a below‑average RB class from top to bottom. And most importantly: does the weakness of the group change how Denver attacks the draft.

<p>On Friday’s <em>Orange & Blue Today</em>, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason sit down with <strong>Matt Waldman</strong>, author of the <strong>Rookie Scouting Portfolio</strong> and the best skill‑position evaluator in the business. The Broncos don’t have premium picks this year, so can they still find <strong>impact playmakers in the mid‑rounds</strong> of the 2026 NFL Draft. Waldman brings the truth — who’s real, who’s risky, and who fits Denver’s offense.</p> <p>The guys dig into whether <strong>Jadarian Price</strong> could slide into Denver’s range in Round 2, and if <strong>Eli Stowers</strong> is the best move tight end the Broncos can realistically land where they’re drafting. And then there’s the looming problem in the AFC West: <strong>Fernando Mendoza</strong>, the likely No. 1 overall pick of the Raiders. Waldman explains exactly why the Indiana QB could become a major headache for Denver’s defense for years.</p> <p>🔥 <strong>In this episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Can Denver find real offensive firepower in the mid‑rounds</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Jadarian Price’s draft range and fit in Sean Payton’s scheme</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Is Eli Stowers the ideal move TE target for the Broncos</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Why Fernando Mendoza could be a long‑term problem in the AFC West</strong></p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Which mid‑round prospects Waldman believes can contribute early</strong></p> </li> </ul> <p>Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which mid‑round skill player YOU want Denver to target.</p>

<p>On Thursday’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into Sean Payton’s challenge to his own offense: finding week‑to‑week consistency in the running game. It’s something Payton emphasized at the league meetings, and with good reason — Denver’s ceiling in 2026 depends on more than just Bo Nix and the passing attack. Payton also explained how Jaylen Waddle can actually unlock the ground game by forcing lighter boxes and stretching defenses horizontally. So are we about to see the best versions of J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. And with the draft approaching, will the Broncos add a rookie running back to complete the rotation. 🔥 In this episode: Why Sean Payton believes the run game must stabilize in 2026 How Jaylen Waddle’s presence opens lanes for Dobbins & Harvey Is this the year Denver gets a true 1‑2 punch in the backfield Will the Week 1 roster include a rookie RB How a consistent ground game changes the entire identity of the offense Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which RB you think breaks out in 2026.</p>

<p>On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down Sean Payton’s comments from the league meetings, where the Broncos’ head coach opened up about three major storylines shaping Denver’s 2026 season. Payton couldn’t hide his excitement about adding Jaylen Waddle, a player he believes fundamentally changes how defenses must play the Broncos. He also explained why Denver stayed out of the free‑agent frenzy, choosing discipline and long‑term roster building over splashy spending. And then there’s the future of Bo Nix, who now enters Year 2 with Davis Webb calling plays. Payton shared why he believes the Nix‑Webb pairing is the right formula for growth, stability, and unlocking the next evolution of the offense. 🔥 In this episode: Sean Payton on why Jaylen Waddle is a true difference‑maker Why Denver avoided the free‑agency chaos How Bo Nix benefits from Davis Webb taking over play‑calling What Payton’s comments reveal about the Broncos’ long‑term plan How these moves shape Denver’s identity heading into 2026 Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us what YOU took away from Payton’s remarks.</p>

<div class="x_elementToProof" data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">On today’s <em>Orange & Blue Today</em>, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down <strong>Broncos owner Greg Penner’s</strong> latest comments — and he didn’t hold back.

<p>On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down George Paton’s latest comments on two of the Broncos’ biggest offseason storylines: Jaylen Waddle and J.K. Dobbins. Paton made it clear that Waddle isn’t just another weapon — he’s a game‑changer, someone who alters spacing, forces defensive adjustments, and instantly raises the ceiling of the offense. No wonder Bo Nix was fired up the moment the trade went down. But Paton also hinted at something else: despite bringing back J.K. Dobbins, the Broncos are still looking for running back help. Whether it’s a veteran addition or a post‑draft signing, Denver wants more juice, more insurance, and more versatility in the backfield. 🔥 In this episode: How Jaylen Waddle changes the entire structure of Denver’s offense Why Bo Nix reacted the way he did when the trade became official What Paton’s comments reveal about the team’s confidence in Dobbins Why RB help remains on the Broncos’ shopping list How these moves shape Denver’s 2026 identity Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us what YOU think the Broncos’ next move should be.</p>

<p>On Thursday’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason shine a spotlight on the forgotten playmakers in Denver’s offense. With the arrival of Jaylen Waddle and the continued dominance of Courtland Sutton, the conversation has shifted — but what does that mean for Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims in 2026. Are these three young receivers destined to fight for scraps, or is there a real path for one (or more) to carve out meaningful production in Sean Payton’s offense.

<p>On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the ripple effects of Jaylen Waddle restructuring his contract, a move that suddenly gives the Broncos around $19 million in cap space. With roughly $7 million needed for the rookie class, Denver still has well over $10 million to play with — so, what’s the plan? Are the Broncos gearing up for another move in free agency.
