Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:20:10 GMT

Denver made an aggressive move Friday night to get back into the third round and draft Iowa cornerback Riley Moss at No. 83 overall.The Broncos were sitting outside of Day 2 altogether after trading up for Oklahoma receiver Marvin Mims at No. 63 and taking Arkansas linebacker Drew Sanders at No. 67.

The team you’re talking with is looking at and communicating off the same chart.“Now, early in the draft this year, there’s a few that were like ‘W...
