Guard Netane Muti, Fresno State Round 6, Pick 181 Muti, a native Tongan, received a third-round grade from the Broncos and would've come off the board on Day 2 if not for his injuries. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-3, 315-pound offensive lineman has played in just five games over the last two...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — As John Elway watched Drew Lock during the final five games of the 2019 season, he saw a player with the potential to revitalize the Broncos' offense. Over the previous three seasons, the Broncos had missed that kind of player at quarterback. Since future Hall of Famer...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. —The Broncos entered the 2020 NFL Draft with a glaring need at the wide receiver position. They needed a true No. 2 receiver to play opposite Pro Bowler Courtland Sutton. They also needed a player who could stretch the field and take the top off the defense. John Elway, Vic...

He said he knows there will be challenges as a rookie, but he said LSU's five-man protection scheme should help prepare him for the next level. "I feel like the biggest challenge for me is just understanding the playbook, but at the same time, I also feel like that is one of my strengths,"...

With A.J. Bouye and Bryce Callahan as the team's established starters, Ojemudia seems most likely to see time in the Broncos' nickel defense when they add an extra cornerback to their lineup. In that situation, though, it's not unreasonable to expect Denver to shift Callahan inside to the slot...

"He'll just start off being one of the guys there and we'll see how he develops and where exactly he could fit in," Fangio said. "He's a guy that needs developing; he's not a complete player at this point, obviously. But we do like some of the tools that he has and some of the potential that he...

Despite having eligibility to return to Happy Valley, Hamler decided to declare for the draft following the 2019 season. "I didn't know I was coming out at first, and basically I had an end-of-the-year draft meeting with my head coach, coach [James] Franklin, and my wide receivers coach, my...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — When the Broncos went through a series of mock drafts in the lead up to the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Jerry Jeudy was still available at No. 15 less than 50 percent of the time. Jeudy was selected by an earlier team so often that John Elway and the Broncos started...

The Lead Drafting Jerry Jeudy in the first round would have been surprising enough. But to not have to trade up to get him? Now that was shocking — and a delight for Broncos fans and NFL analysts. "For Drew Lock, Christmas just came early," The Ringer's Danny Kelly wrote as he gave the...

Bucky Brooks, NFL.com: CB CJ Henderson, Florida The talented cornerback would team with A.J. Bouye to give the Broncos a dynamic tandem on the outside. John Clayton, The Washington Post: WR Henry Ruggs III, Alabama If the Broncos trade up, it may be for Jeudy. But Ruggs would give Broncos...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Mock draft after mock draft projected the Broncos would take a wide receiver with the 15th-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Turns out, it wasn't a smokescreen. The Broncos selected former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy with the 15th-overall pick in the first round of...

Sutton, who carved out his spot as the Broncos' top receiving option in 2019, said he was "really excited" when he saw the team's selection. Jeudy, he said, reminds him of another former Alabama product. "One of the biggest things that I see from seeing his film is he reminds me a little bit...
