The Drive | Hour 3 | 04.28.26

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to ESPN's Mel Kiper's draft grade for the Broncos. How will the Broncos organize the running back room after selecting Jonah Coleman in the 4^th round? Is there no longer room for Jaleel McLaughlin or Tyler Badie on the Broncos roster? We dive back into the Nuggets' game 5 win over the Timberwolves last night. How has Nuggets Nation gone from super confident to start the series to an eerie feeling in Ball Arena? What did the guys make of the odd gamesmanship from Jokic in the final seconds of the game? We discuss the Peyton Watson situation and if we expect to see him suit up for the Nuggets anytime soon. Would the organization "clear" Watson to add pressure on him to return to playing? Is Aaron Gordon's resiliency and eagerness to play through injury making Watson look even worse? We break down the Broncos 4^th and 5^th round picks, Kage Casey and Justin Joly. Should we expect anything from either Casey or Joly in their rookie seasons, or will they be developmental projects?
