Orange and Blue Today

On Tuesday’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down the latest DenverSports.com piece on Sean Payton and his plan for the Broncos to buck the NFL trend of teams that rack up 10+ one‑score wins… then crash back to earth the following season. Last year, the Broncos were elite in tight games, thriving in late‑game situations and finishing drives when it mattered most. But history says that kind of success is almost impossible to sustain. So the question becomes: Can Denver maintain that edge in 2026 — or is regression inevitable. Mase and Cecil dig into Payton’s philosophy, why he believes the Broncos are built differently, and how roster continuity, situational coaching, and Bo Nix’s growth factor into the equation. Is this team wired to win close games again, or do they need to dominate more convincingly to stay atop the AFC. 🔥 In this episode: Why teams with 10+ one‑score wins usually fall off How Payton thinks the Broncos can break that trend What close‑game success says about coaching and QB play Why 2026 might be different from the historical data What Denver must improve to avoid regression Drop your take — can the Broncos keep winning the tight ones, or will the math catch up to them.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down the news that Caleb Lohner will miss the next two weeks of minicamp and OTAs after a routine lower‑body cleanup — and what it really means for the Broncos’ tight end room. Lohner is expected to be fully ready for training camp, but missing valuable reps in June matters when you’re a second‑year player fighting for a roster spot. How much does this setback hurt his chances of making the 53. Does this open the door for Justin Joly to grab more work. Does Adam Trautman tighten his grip on the TE1/TE2 rotation. And is this the moment for a sleeper like Caleb Lohner’s competition to flash. Mase and Cecil break down the depth chart, the opportunity cost, and why Lohner’s development timeline now becomes one of the most important storylines of training camp. 🔥 In this episode: Why Lohner’s absence matters more than fans think How the TE depth chart shifts over the next two weeks Who benefits most from Lohner missing reps Whether this impacts his 53‑man roster odds What Lohner must show when he returns for training camp Drop your take — is this just a minor bump, or a real opening for someone else in the TE room.

On Friday’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the biggest defensive observations from Broncos OTAs — and the early signs point to a unit with speed, swagger, and a couple of young players making real noise.

Riley Moss had one of the best days on the field, showing sticky coverage, confidence, and the kind of anticipation that screams “Year‑3 leap.” If he keeps stacking days like this, the Broncos’ cornerback room gets a whole lot more dangerous.

Red Murdock continues to play exactly how he was scouted — fast, urgent, and never slowing down. The seventh‑round pick looks like he’s trying to win a job on every rep, and coaches are noticing.

But the biggest question remains: who steps up to replace JFM. With Jonathan Franklin‑Myers gone, the Broncos need a new tone‑setter up front. Is it a committee. Is it a young player flashing early. Or does a veteran rise into that role.

This is the defensive edition — and there’s plenty to talk about.

🔥 In this episode:

• How Riley Moss showed real CB2‑level traits at OTAs

• Why Red Murdock’s nonstop motor is winning over coaches

• Who’s emerging as the top candidate to replace JFM

• Which defenders flashed early chemistry and communication

• What these OTA signs mean for Vance Joseph’s 2026 defense

Drop your take in the comments — who impressed YOU most on the defensive side at OTAs.

On tonight’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the biggest offensive observations from the Broncos’ first open OTA session — and the early signs are very encouraging. The headline: Jaylen Waddle looks every bit like the superstar Denver traded for. His burst, his separation, his energy — it all jumped off the field. Even without Bo Nix throwing, Waddle’s presence changed the entire vibe of practice. Then there’s JK Dobbins, who Sean Payton called a force multiplier. You could see why: vision, tempo, leadership, and the ability to elevate everyone around him. He looks like the engine of the offense. And yes — Jonah Coleman fits right in with the veterans. The rookie didn’t look overwhelmed for a second. His burst, balance, and willingness to do the dirty work (pass pro, details, effort) stood out immediately. These are the early signs of an offense that could be far more explosive — and far more complete — than last year. 🔥 In this episode: Why Waddle already looks like Denver’s WR1 energy‑changer How Dobbins is setting the tone as Payton’s “force multiplier” Why Jonah Coleman looks like he belongs with the vets What the offense showed under Davis Webb’s early installation Which players flashed chemistry, confidence, and early momentum Drop your take in the comments — who impressed YOU the most from the first OTA look.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the three biggest storylines as the Broncos open their first week of OTAs — with Thursday’s media‑open practice giving us our first real look at the 2026 squad. Storyline No. 1: Jaylen Waddle’s debut in a Broncos uniform. How he moves, how he’s used, how quickly he syncs with the offense — Waddle is the headliner, even if Bo Nix isn’t throwing. Storyline No. 2: Bo Nix’s ankle. Is he practicing. Is he limited. Is this actually a big deal. The fellas explain why this storyline is more about curiosity than concern — but it will dominate Thursday’s questions. Storyline No. 3: Which rookies pop early — especially Jonah Coleman, who could look even better with veterans around him. Does he flash burst, vision, or pass‑pro chops that force coaches to take notice. We lay out exactly what to watch for when the media steps onto the field: rotations, usage, chemistry, and who steals the early buzz. 🔥 In this episode: Why Waddle will be the most‑watched player at OTAs What Nix’s ankle status really means for Denver’s offseason Which rookies can stand out immediately (Coleman alert) How the offense looks under Davis Webb’s early installation What Thursday’s open practice will reveal — and what it won’t Drop your take in the comments — what’s YOUR No. 1 storyline heading into OTAs.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down why the Broncos just handed Pat Surtain a $5 million raise for 2026, plus the chance to earn another $5 million in 2027 if he makes All‑Pro or the Pro Bowl. This wasn’t charity — it was a calculated move with layers. First, this restructure creates cap space, which immediately raises the question: is Denver preparing to add a veteran free agent. Second, it’s a sign of respect toward one of the league’s best corners — and a way to keep Surtain happy while the team prepares for a massive long‑term extension. Third, it’s a bet that Surtain will continue playing at an elite level, giving him a real shot to earn that second $5M bump. So why now. What does it signal. And will Surtain hit those incentives. 🔥 In this episode: Why the Broncos gave Surtain a $5M raise right now How the move frees cap space for a potential veteran addition Whether Surtain can realistically earn another $5M next year What this says about Denver’s long‑term plan at CB How this restructure fits into the team’s championship window Drop your take in the comments — was this a smart cap move, a loyalty play, or both.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the question everyone in Broncos Country is asking: how different will Davis Webb call the offense now that he’s taking over full play‑calling duties from Sean Payton. The bones of the system stay the same — but the feel, the tempo, and the philosophy could shift in ways that unlock a new version of Bo Nix.

Webb is younger, more aggressive, and more willing to lean into modern spacing concepts. Expect more early‑down passing, more RPO elements, more middle‑of‑the‑field attacks, and a play‑caller who isn’t afraid to let Nix rip it. The offense could become faster, more rhythmic, and more QB‑friendly — without losing Payton’s structure.

So how big is the change. Big enough to matter. Subtle enough to stay stable. And potentially the key to taking Denver from a top‑14 offense to a top‑10… or better.

🔥 In this episode:

• How Davis Webb’s style differs from Sean Payton’s

• Why the offense could become more aggressive and QB‑centric

• How Webb’s rhythm‑based approach fits Bo Nix’s strengths

• What changes in tempo, spacing, and early‑down philosophy

• Why this shift could elevate Denver’s offensive ceiling in 2026

Drop your take in the comments — how big of a leap do YOU expect from the Broncos offense under Davis Webb.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down which games on the 2026 Broncos schedule are the most likely losses, based on Mike Clay’s win‑probability projections. Denver is favored or at least even in almost every matchup — but a few games stand out as true danger zones.

The Broncos have only three games where they’re below a 50% chance to win:

• Vs. Rams — 39%

• At Chiefs — 48%

• At Chargers — 49%

Then come the “coin‑flip but tricky” matchups:

• At Patriots — 50%

• At 49ers — 51%

• Vs Seahawks — 53%

• At Steelers — 58%

We dig into why these specific games are projected as the toughest, what matchups or travel spots create the biggest problems, and whether Denver — a contender — can flip some of these into statement wins.

🔥 In this episode:

• Why the Rams are Denver’s toughest projected matchup

• Why Arrowhead remains a near coin‑flip even for a 14‑win team

• Why the Chargers matchup is sneakier than people think

• Which “50/50” games could swing the AFC playoff race

• How Denver can turn projected losses into tone‑setting wins

Drop your take in the comments — which game do YOU think is the Broncos’ toughest matchup in 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey digs into a question that hits a little harder after watching the Avalanche get swept in the Western Conference Final: If the Broncos make it back to the AFC Championship… and lose again… how will Broncos Country feel.

Denver already lived this once — a 14‑win season, an AFC West title, and a crushing loss one step short of the Super Bowl. The Avs just lived the same script. So what happens if the Broncos run it back, add superstar WR Jaylen Waddle, keep the core intact… and still fall short.

Can the Broncos get that far again. Absolutely. But what would cause them to stumble: early‑season gauntlet, Bo Nix plateauing, injuries, defensive regression, or the offense not fully clicking under Davis Webb. And if they fall short, does the fanbase feel pride, frustration, or something in between.

This is the emotional reality of a contender — expectations rise, and so does the pressure.

🔥 In this episode:

• Why the Broncos can return to the AFC Championship

• What would cause them to fall short despite a “run it back” roster

• How adding Jaylen Waddle changes expectations — and pressure

• What Broncos Country’s reaction would be to another near‑miss

• Why the Avs’ loss puts Denver’s stakes into sharper focus

Drop your take in the comments — if the Broncos fall one game short again, how would YOU feel about the season.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey digs into a question that suddenly has real heat in Broncos Country: could Von Miller actually come back to Denver. The future Hall of Famer is nearing the end of his career, but his leadership, pass‑rush savvy, and championship pedigree still carry weight — especially for a young locker room built around Bo Nix. Would bringing back a franchise icon help Nix’s development. Absolutely. Von is a culture‑setter, a tone‑setter, and a mentor who understands what it takes to win big games. But is it the right move for the Broncos. Does he still have enough juice to justify a roster spot. And how would Sean Payton balance nostalgia with the cold reality of roster construction. We break down the fit, the upside, the risk, and the emotional pull of a potential reunion. 🔥 In this episode: Why a Von Miller return is more realistic than people think How Von’s presence could help Bo Nix on and off the field Whether the Broncos should prioritize leadership or youth at EDGE How Sean Payton weighs sentiment vs. production What a Von reunion would mean to Broncos Country Drop your take in the comments — should the Broncos bring Von Miller home for one last ride.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the new blood at inside linebacker, where the Broncos added both draft capital and undrafted talent — and the competition behind Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton is suddenly one of the most fascinating battles on the roster. Seventh‑round pick Red Murdock brings instincts, tackling reliability, and special‑teams value that could help him climb the depth chart faster than expected. Priority UDFA Taurean York has the IQ and leadership to make a real push for the 53‑man roster, especially if he shines on teams. Then there’s the wild card: Jonah Elliss. A natural EDGE, he’s been dabbling at ILB — but is that a temporary experiment, or could he take on a bigger‑than‑expected role inside if Vance Joseph wants more speed and disruption in the middle. Could one of these young players — or Elliss — eventually push Alex Singleton for snaps. What’s the long‑term plan for Joseph’s defense, and how does this youth movement fit into it. 🔥 In this episode: How Red Murdock can rise quickly in the ILB room Why Taurean York has a real path to the 53‑man roster Whether Jonah Elliss becomes more than an ILB experiment How the young linebackers fit behind Strnad and Singleton What Vance Joseph’s long‑term vision looks like at ILB Drop your thoughts in the comments — which young linebacker makes the biggest impact for Denver in 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down why Jonah Coleman might be more than just a fourth‑round steal — he might be a real threat to shake up the Broncos’ backfield sooner than anyone expected. Coleman has the traits of a featured NFL running back, and the question now is simple: can he actually push JK Dobbins for the starting job.

Coleman isn’t just insurance for a Dobbins injury. He’s powerful, decisive, and — maybe most importantly — he loves the dirty work, especially pass protection, the one area that usually keeps rookies off the field. If he continues to excel there, he could wedge his way into the rotation immediately, not eventually.

Is Coleman a future RB1. Could he be a present‑day problem for defenses. And how quickly can he force Sean Payton’s hand.

🔥 In this episode:

• Why Jonah Coleman has true featured‑back upside

• How he could push JK Dobbins for RB1 sooner than expected

• Why his pass‑pro chops fast‑track his playing time

• Whether he’s more than just injury insurance

• How early he can carve out a real role in 2026

Drop your take in the comments — how soon should the Broncos unleash Jonah Coleman as a major part of the offense.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the Broncos’ two‑tight‑end draft haul — Justin Joly and Dallen Bentley — and what their arrivals mean for the future of the position in Denver.

Joly is the classic F tight end, a modern move piece who can work the middle of the field, uncover quickly, and give Bo Nix a reliable matchup‑beater. But does he have enough long speed to be a true seam‑ripper, or is he more of a chain‑mover with route nuance and body control.

Bentley brings the Y‑tight‑end frame, the in‑line power, and the ability to win physically at the catch point. His size and play strength make him an instant red‑zone threat, and his blocking gives him a path to early snaps. Together, they might be the future foundation of the Broncos’ tight end room.

🔥 In this episode:

• Why Justin Joly profiles as Denver’s long‑term F tight end

• Whether he has the speed to threaten the seam consistently

• How Dallen Bentley’s size and strength translate to red‑zone production

• Why Bentley could become the Broncos’ next true Y tight end

• How these two rookies could reshape the TE room for years

Jump in the comments — which rookie TE do YOU think becomes the Broncos’ long‑term starter.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey spotlights one of the most intriguing second‑year players on the roster: Caleb Lohner. A seventh‑round pick and former college basketball standout, Lohner has quietly become a Sean Payton favorite — and it’s not hard to see why.

Lohner brings a nasty streak as a blocker, surprising power at the point of attack, and the kind of competitive edge that jumps off the tape. He’s long, athletic, and plays with real attitude — the opposite of a finesse convert. But with Greg Dulcich, Adam Trautman, and Justin Joly in the room, is he the forgotten man at tight end… or the sleeper who could carve out a real role.

We dig into why he’s standing out, how he fits in the rotation, and what his future could look like in Denver’s evolving offense.

🔥 In this episode:

• Why Caleb Lohner’s blocking edge is turning heads

• How a former hooper developed real trench toughness

• Whether he’s being overlooked in a crowded TE room

• How his athletic profile fits Payton’s long‑term vision

• What his future role could become in Denver’s offense

Jump in the comments — is Caleb Lohner a hidden gem, or just waiting for his chance to break out.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the biggest question surrounding fourth‑round pick Cage Kasey: is he a tackle or a guard in Denver’s long‑term plan. The Broncos love his versatility, but rookie minicamp gave us our first real hints — and Andrew Mason saw plenty worth talking about.

Mase shares what stood out from Kasey’s first on‑field work: the footwork, the anchor, the movement skills, and the way he handled coaching. Does his game translate better inside, or can he truly hold up on the edge.

Then we zoom out to the bigger storyline: the future of left guard. With Ben Powers approaching a contract crossroads, is that where Kasey ultimately lands. Is he the next man up. And how soon could that transition happen.

This is one of the most important developmental decisions on the roster — and the Broncos may already be tipping their hand.

🔥 In this episode:

• What Mase saw from Cage Kasey at rookie minicamp

• Why Kasey’s traits may point toward guard — or swing tackle

• How his development ties directly to Ben Powers’ future

• What the Broncos envision for their long‑term interior OL

• How soon Kasey could push for a real role

Drop your thoughts in the comments — is Cage Kasey the Broncos’ future at guard, tackle, or both.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the rookie everyone keeps circling: Tyler Onyedim. Yes, he was a third‑round pick — but the buzz inside Dove Valley is that he might be able to get on the field sooner than people think. His power, leverage, and ability to win inside fit exactly what Vance Joseph wants from his front.

How does Onyedim slot in behind Zach Allen, DJ Jones, and Malcolm Roach. Can he carve out a rotational role early, or is this a developmental year with spot duty. And what does his arrival say about the future of the Broncos’ defensive line, especially with veterans nearing contract crossroads.

This is one of the most important long‑term position groups on the roster — and Onyedim might be the first piece of the next wave.

🔥 In this episode:

• How quickly Tyler Onyedim can push for real snaps

• Where he fits behind Allen, Jones, and Roach

• Why his skill set could accelerate his timeline

• What this pick means for Denver’s long‑term D‑line construction

• Which veterans could feel pressure from the rookie’s rise

Drop your take in the comments — how soon should the Broncos unleash Tyler Onyedim in the rotation.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the full 2026 Broncos schedule, now officially released — and there’s plenty to unpack. Denver opens the year in prime time, but the real story is how the rest of the slate shapes their path back to the postseason. When does Denver get its bye week, and does the timing help a roster built for a deep run. How are the AFC West games distributed — front‑loaded, back‑loaded, or scattered to maximize drama. And after a 14‑win season in 2025, what does this schedule say about the Broncos’ chances of matching or surpassing that mark. From travel stretches to cold‑weather finishes to divisional landmines, the 2026 schedule gives us our first real look at how Denver’s season could unfold. 🔥 In this episode: Where the Broncos’ bye week lands — and why it matters How the AFC West matchups are spaced throughout the season What this schedule means for Denver’s win‑total expectations Which stretches could define the Broncos’ playoff push Tell us in the comments: how many wins do YOU see on the Broncos’ 2026 schedule.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down every possible schedule scenario for the Broncos as we wait for Thursday’s full NFL release. We already know the headline: Denver opens the 2026 season on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football — a brutal, high‑stakes start. But what about the rest of the path. Do the Broncos want an early bye week to help Bo Nix recover from ankle surgery, or a late bye to fuel a playoff push. How will the league stack the AFC West matchups — front‑loaded, back‑loaded, or spread out. And does Denver finish the year at home in the cold or on the road in a hostile environment with the division on the line. We won’t know the answers until Thursday, but today we speculate, project, and map out the most likely schedule shapes the Broncos could face in 2026. 🔥 In this episode: Early vs. late bye week — what benefits Denver most How the AFC West games might be distributed Whether the Broncos finish the season at home or on the road How the league could build drama around Denver’s 2026 storylines Why Week 1 at Kansas City sets the tone for everything Tell us in the comments: what schedule layout gives the Broncos the best shot to repeat as AFC West champs.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the Week 1 showdown already leaked ahead of Thursday’s full schedule release: the Broncos open the 2026 season on Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. No soft landing. No easing in. Denver starts the year in a divisional pressure cooker. Facing a division rival in Week 1 can help — because you know their personnel, their tendencies, their coaching DNA — but it can also hurt, because every mistake counts double in the AFC West race. This opener is a tone‑setter, and both teams know it. Then there’s the quarterback spotlight: Bo Nix vs Patrick Mahomes. If Mahomes is fully ready after injury, it becomes one of the biggest QB matchups of the entire opening weekend. If he’s not, Denver has a rare chance to seize early momentum and punch the Chiefs before they stabilize. The Broncos enter 2026 as the defending AFC West champs, but Kansas City is desperate to reclaim the throne. Week 1 isn’t just a game — it’s a statement opportunity. 🔥 In this episode: Why opening with a divisional opponent raises the stakes immediately How MNF amplifies pressure for both Denver and Kansas City Bo Nix vs Patrick Mahomes and the national spotlight What this matchup means for the AFC West power struggle Drop your predictions for Broncos–Chiefs in the comments and tell us what statement Denver needs to make in Week 1.

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

• What the team really thinks about Drew Sanders’ future

• How Jonah Elliss looks with some time at ILB

• Why the back end of the ILB room is suddenly one of the most intriguing battles

A seventh‑round pick with real juice — and a position group that just got a lot more interesting.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey digs into one of the most intriguing storylines of rookie minicamp: are the Broncos quietly auditioning quarterbacks this weekend. Denver is bringing in Nathan Peterman for a tryout — a veteran who knows systems, protections, and can run a practice field — but the real buzz comes from EJ Warner, the son of Hall of Famer Kurt Warner.

Warner was just at Chiefs rookie minicamp last week, and now he gets a shot to impress in Denver. He’s smart, tough, experienced, and has logged a ton of college reps. The Broncos need a camp arm, but they also need someone who can help stabilize the room while Bo Nix recovers from ankle surgery. This weekend could determine whether Warner earns a longer look.

With Nix sidelined and Jarrett Stidham the only healthy veteran, the Broncos are evaluating every option — and this minicamp suddenly has real stakes for the QB depth chart.

🔥 In this episode:

• Why the Broncos are bringing in Nathan Peterman for a tryout

• What EJ Warner can show after visiting the Chiefs last week

• How Bo Nix’s injury timeline impacts the QB room

• Whether Denver is looking for a true No. 3 or just a camp arm

• What this weekend means for the Broncos’ offseason plan at quarterback

A rookie minicamp with real quarterback implications — and OBT is all over it.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason open up the mailbag and dive into what’s on the minds of Broncos Country right now. Fans want answers — and we’re hitting every major topic. First up: Bo Nix’s ankle. After his planned cleanup procedure, what does the timeline really look like, and how much should fans worry about his offseason availability. Then we tackle the big free‑agent question: could the Broncos add a veteran like Cam Heyward to bolster the defensive front, and what would it take for that to happen. And of course, the spotlight turns to Davis Webb, who steps into the play‑caller role for the first time. How will he handle the responsibility, what changes might fans see, and why his relationship with Nix matters more than ever. 🔥 In this episode: Bo Nix’s ankle update — what the procedure means for OTAs and beyond Could Denver add a veteran free agent like Cam Heyward How Davis Webb will operate as a first‑time play‑caller What fans are most concerned about heading into the summer Cecil and Mase answer the biggest questions from Broncos Country A full‑throttle Q&A episode — honest answers, real insight, and everything Broncos fans are buzzing about.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped the Broncos secondary, with a special focus on seventh‑round pick Miles Scott. Denver lost PJ Locke to the Cowboys in free agency — a major blow to their reliable depth — and now enters the season with talent at the top but real questions behind Brandon Jones and Talanoa Hufanga. Scott brings range, instincts, and special‑teams toughness, giving him a legitimate shot to make the roster and contribute immediately on teams. But can he carve out defensive snaps as a rookie. And what about JL Skinner, whose development becomes even more important with Locke gone and the depth chart thinning out. The Broncos’ back end has upside, but it also has uncertainty — and this draft class may need to grow up fast. 🔥 In this episode: How seventh‑rounder Miles Scott fits into Denver’s secondary Why losing PJ Locke puts pressure on the young safeties Whether Scott can earn rookie snaps — at least on special teams Where JL Skinner stands entering a pivotal year Why the Broncos’ safety depth is talented… but unproven A draft pick, a departure, and a secondary with something to prove — OBT breaks it all down.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down why the Broncos could not pass on Kage Casey in the fourth round — even while gambling that Justin Joly would still be on the board later. Kasey was simply too talented, too versatile, and too clean a scheme fit to ignore. Denver sees Casey as a true OL hybrid — a player who can line up at tackle in a pinch but may ultimately project as a powerful, athletic guard in Sean Payton’s system. And that raises the big question: is he the future replacement for Ben Powers. With Powers’ contract structure and age, the writing might already be on the wall. Casey’s intelligence, anchor, and movement skills give him a real shot to start as early as 2027 — or even sooner if injuries or competition open the door. This pick wasn’t just about depth. It was about succession planning. 🔥 In this episode: Why the Broncos couldn’t pass on Kage Casey at 108 How his versatility shapes his long‑term role — guard or tackle Whether he’s the heir apparent to Ben Powers Why Casey could push for a starting job as early as next season What this pick says about Denver’s evolving offensive line philosophy A forward‑thinking pick with real upside — and OBT breaks down every angle.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down what the selection of Tyler Onyedim at No. 66 really means for the Broncos’ defensive line — both in 2026 and beyond. Denver didn’t just add depth; they added a violent, explosive, scheme‑perfect disruptor who could force his way into a larger‑than‑expected role as a rookie. Onyedim’s power, leverage, and ability to win inside align perfectly with what Vance Joseph wants from his front. And the pick sends a clear message about the future of the room. DJ Jones is entering the final stretch of his contract, Malcolm Roach is a rotational piece, and Sai’vion Jones is still developing. Onyedim gives Denver a young, cost‑controlled interior presence who could become a foundational starter by 2027 — if not sooner. This wasn’t just a pick. It was a directional statement about where the Broncos want their defensive identity to go. 🔥 In this episode: How Tyler Onyedim upgrades the Broncos’ defensive line immediately Why the rookie could have a bigger role than anyone expected What this selection signals about DJ Jones’ and Malcolm Roach’s futures How Onyedim fits alongside Sai’vion Jones in the long‑term plan Why this pick reflects Denver’s shift toward youth, power, and disruption up front A sneaky‑big pick with major ripple effects — and we’re breaking it all down on OBT.
