With RJ Harvey also in the offense, the Broncos' RB room is in good shape. However, according to Mike Klis of 9News, the Broncos had drafted Jonah Coleman with the No. 108 pick in Round 4 of the NFL Draft.

How Jonah Coleman will impact the Broncos' RB room
Denver's addition of Coleman is a fascinating one, as they were in good shape with Dobbins and Harvey before this selection.
Now, Coleman, who is a very unique build for a running back at 5-foot-8, 228 pounds, will be a ground-and-pound running back. He's a power back who will be a great complementary piece to a starting RB.
For Denver's offense, that is most likely going to be Harvey and not Dobbins. His fit in the Broncos' backfield would be more as the Dobbins role than the Harvey role.

Coleman ran for 758 yards and 15 touchdowns last year for Washington, and is a goal-line back who isn't as much of a big-play threat.
But he's a fun prospect who will be a solid complementary piece for Sean Payton's offense. He is capable of catching passes out of the backfield, but his best skill set is to gain a few hard-fought yards.
Harvey's job should be safe even with this pick, but there is a chance that the volume for Dobbins takes a bit of a dip with Coleman's addition to the offense.
