The Denver Broncos & Sean Payton spent the 2025 NFL Draft and NFL free agency focused on significantly improving their defense under Vance Joseph.

Signing Talanoa Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw in free agency and using their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft of Texas CB Jahdae Barron followed a similar trend with the other top teams in the AFC West and AFC. Is that the right move to make with Bo Nix at quarterback?

Does this mean the Denver Broncos are pushing for a championship run sooner than later?

Additionally, is the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders the best division in the entire NFL?

NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger “Baldy” joins the DNVR Broncos Podcast to break it all down.
