The Drive | Hour 4 | 03.31.26

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos as Sean Payton spoke today at the annual NFL meetings. We hear from Sean and his thoughts on the Jaylen Waddle trade, what he does well, and how Waddle had glowing recommendations from other people that have been around him. How will the Broncos utilize Waddle's talents? Do we believe Sean when he says JK Dobbins was a priority over all others in free agency? How did the Broncos face the criticism of a slow free agency? How do we feel about Sean Payton saying the Broncos are not just "running it back" but still improving the team? Could we see Jonah Ellis change positions to get snaps at ILB? We react to ESPN's BPI which predicts the Nuggets as the 6^th best team in the NBA and gives them a 20% chance of making the Western Conference Finals. We wrap up the show DenverSports.com's Aniello Piro joining the show to discuss an update on Cale Makar after he didn't return to the game in the third period last night.
