Episode Description

Our Orange & Blue Today position previews continue — and today Mase and Cec break down one of the deepest, most fascinating groups on the roster: the Broncos cornerbacks. At the top sits Pat Surtain — arguably the best cornerback in the NFL. But with Vance Joseph hammering the message of more turnovers, can Surtain boost his interception total in 2026. He’s elite in coverage, but can he turn more of those shutdown reps into game‑changing takeaways. Across from him, Riley Moss enters a contract year. His improved play last season was undeniable — but if he continues that rise, does he earn a payday the Broncos may not be able to match. Moss’ 2026 season could reshape the future of the CB room. Then comes the mystery piece: Jahdae Barron. The 2025 first‑round pick has talent, versatility, and toughness — but what is his position. Is he a boundary corner who can push Moss. Or is he a slot defender. And if he’s a slot, can he realistically push JaQuan McMillian — one of the best nickel corners in the league. Or is Barron simply a gifted player who must wait behind three quality starters until a spot opens. Finally, Kris Abrams‑Draine enters the conversation as a developmental CB with intriguing long‑term upside. What does his future look like in a crowded room. This CB group is loaded with talent, layered with questions, and absolutely central to Vance Joseph’s turnover‑driven identity. 🔥 In this episode: Why Surtain could finally see an interception jump in 2026 How Moss’ contract year shapes the future of the CB room Whether Barron is a boundary corner, a slot defender, or a long‑term chess piece If McMillian’s elite slot play blocks Barron’s path to snaps What the Broncos envision for Kris Abrams‑Draine moving forward
