The Denver Broncos will have the No. 20 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft after losing to the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the playoffs earlier this month.

On Monday, ESPN's Matt Miller detailed the two "dream" options for the Broncos in the first round.

Miller thinks the Broncos need to "accumulate offensive playmakers" to put around quarterback Bo Nix.

Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Penn State tight end Tyler Warren are the two players that Miller thinks would be dream options for the Broncos.

From ESPN: With [Garett] Bolles re-signed, the Broncos need to accumulate offensive playmakers around Nix. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty would be a dream fit should he slip in Round 1. The same goes for Penn State tight end Tyler Warren. Even if those players aren't on the board when Denver picks, the Broncos should be open to taking a running back or pass catcher late in Round 1.

You never know how the NFL draft will play out, but for now, it seems unlikely that Jeanty or Warren will fall to the Broncos at No. 20.

The latest 2025 NFL mock draft from CBS Sports , for example, has Jeanty going to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12 and Warren going to the Miami Dolphins at No. 13.

The 33rd team's latest 2025 NFL mock draft has a similar scenario playing out in the first round, with Jeanty going to the Cowboys at No. 12 and Warren going to the Indianapolis Colts at No. 14.

Denver may have to trade up to land either Jeanty or Warren -- though with three months to go until the draft gets underway, there's still plenty that could change in regards to where players fall on draft boards across the NFL.
