General manager George Paton said "you can't have enough cover guys," especially in a division with Patrick Mahomes.

The Denver Broncos have made heavy investments on the defensive side of the ball this offseason and that was highlighted once again during the 2025 NFL Draft when they took Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron with the 20th overall selection as their next stud defensive back.

The Broncos got off to a good start with their roster reshaping in free agency, signing safety Talanoa Hufanga and linebacker Dre Greenlaw from the San Francisco 49ers and adding tight end Evan Engram from Jacksonville and special teams ace Trent Sherfield from Detroit.
