Did the Broncos Make the RIGHT Move in the NFL Draft By Moving Back? | Orange & Blue Today

About this episode

The episode discusses the Broncos' decision to move back in the NFL Draft and its implications.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the Broncos’ biggest draft‑week gamble: moving back out of the second round and selecting Tyler Onyedim with the No. 66 pick near the top of Round 3. Denver passed on staying at 62… and they passed on trading up. So did George Paton make the right move — or did the Broncos miss out on a chance to land a higher‑impact player. Was sliding back the smart play to add capital and still get “their guy,” or should Denver have packaged picks to go get a difference‑maker earlier. And what does this move say about how Sean Payton and Vance Joseph view their defensive front heading into 2026. 🔥 In this episode: Did Denver make the right call trading back from 62 Why Tyler Onyedim was the target at 66 — and what he brings to the defense Should the Broncos have been aggressive and traded UP instead What this move reveals about Paton’s draft philosophy How the decision shapes the rest of Denver’s draft strategy Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us whether YOU would’ve stayed put, moved up… or made the same move Paton did.
