Broncos gain flexibility for NFL draft after free agency

gazette.com

The Denver Broncos have made significant moves in free agency, signing inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and tight end Evan Engram. These additions address key team needs, allowing the Broncos to focus on other positions in the upcoming draft. Despite still needing a running back, the Broncos are not rushing to fill this position. The draft, scheduled for April 24-26, offers a deep pool of running back talent, giving the Broncos flexibility to select the best available player with their No. 20 pick. All three new signings have injury histories but are expected to play important roles if healthy. Greenlaw and Hufanga previously played for a top-ranked defense, while Engram is seen as a versatile playmaker, enhancing the Broncos' offensive options.
