OBT: Matt Waldman on Mid‑Round Gems, Jadarian Price’s Range, Eli Stowers & Facing Fernando Mendoza

On Friday’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason sit down with Matt Waldman, author of the Rookie Scouting Portfolio and the best skill‑position evaluator in the business. The Broncos don’t have premium picks this year, so can they still find impact playmakers in the mid‑rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. Waldman brings the truth — who’s real, who’s risky, and who fits Denver’s offense.

The guys dig into whether Jadarian Price could slide into Denver’s range in Round 2, and if Eli Stowers is the best move tight end the Broncos can realistically land where they’re drafting. And then there’s the looming problem in the AFC West: Fernando Mendoza, the likely No. 1 overall pick of the Raiders. Waldman explains exactly why the Indiana QB could become a major headache for Denver’s defense for years.
