The Denver Broncos had a big 2021 NFL Draft class led by Pat Surtain II, arguably the best defensive player in the entire 2021 class. It’s understandable that a player like Marquiss Spencer, who received very little pre-draft fanfare, would be flying a bit under the radar after OTAs.

The Broncos’ defense is a veteran-laden group with some big-money veterans and some legitimate questions about how even the team’s first-round pick is going to fit in with all of the studs in the secondary.
