The Broncos didn’t take a quarterback after all. With the No. 9 overall pick, the Broncos selected Alabama cornerback Patrick Surtain II. 
An All-American as a junior, Surtain finished with a career-high nine passes defensed this season, leading to SEC Defensive Player of the Years honors. That performance vaulted him up the draft boards, just shy of fellow corner Jaycee Horn.
We previously heard that the Cowboys were split between Horn and Surtain. Now, they’ll have to pivot. The Cardinals were also infatuated with both corners, so they’ll have to look further down the board when they pick in the middle of the order.
Surtain will follow his father, Patrick Surtain, into the pros. The elder Surtain was a longtime NFL corner who became a Dolphins second-round pick in 1998. An All-American as a junior, Surtain finished with a career-high nine passes defensed in 2020. Now, in Denver, Surtain will join a talented cornerback group that includes Ronald Darby, Kyle Fuller, and Bryce Callahan.
He’s the first defensive player drafted in Round 1 by the Broncos since 2018, when they tapped Bradley Chubb No. 5 overall. He’s also Denver’s first Round 1 defensive back since Bradley Roby in 2014.
This move boned the Cowboys. Idk wth is going on Eagles trading with the Cowboys.
idiots. should take taken Fields.
Why would Dallas help a Rivak
Rival
to help themselves
It figures that the Broncos would not address a position of need, as 5-11 teams always make idiotic picks.
Breaking news the Broncos pick a defensive player for the first time in 3 years? Good grief just stop like it was forever ago.
Needed a QB, Needed a RB, Needed
OL/DL, Needed WR/TE,
Needed LB’s…let’s draft a CB
It’s obvious that Denver drafted Surtain to cover Kelce, Waller and other Tight Ends that have taken advantage of Denver’s only Achilles heal.
Nope! They did it because they are stupid.
It was a good pick Fuller is only a one year deal lots of injuries in the secondary last year he will be good for a long time. Still a Lotta good players out there to address all the all their needs .
