The Broncos are growing more interested in Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart with their first-round pick, an NFL source said just before the first round began.
The source said Denver and the Carolina Panthers are among the few teams who favor Stewart, who is coming off toe surgery, over Illinois running back Rashard Mendenhall.
The Panthers, with the No. 13 pick, may take Stewart if the Broncos pass on him a pick earlier, the source said.
Stewart, 5-feet-10 and 235 pounds, rushed for 1,469 yards and 10 touchdowns last fall as a junior for the Ducks.
