Draft Aftermath: How Does Red Murdock CHANGE the Broncos ILB room? | Orange & Blue Today

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down how Red Murdock, the Broncos’ final pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, might end up being far more than “Mr. Irrelevant.” The Buffalo linebacker is a ball‑finder with real tackling juice, and Denver believes they uncovered a legitimate depth piece who can compete right away.

The Broncos’ ILB room is stable at the top with Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton, but behind them it’s wide open. Can Murdock carve out a role on special teams — or even push for defensive snaps. What does this mean for Drew Sanders, who has yet to claim a consistent role. And how does Jonah Elliss look as he experiments with inside linebacker reps.

Denver needed competition, energy, and developmental upside at ILB. Red Murdock brings all three.

🔥 In this episode:

• Why Red Murdock was a fantastic late‑round find for Denver

• How he fits behind Strnad and Singleton in the ILB rotation

• Whether Murdock can earn rookie snaps — especially on special teams
