As Day 2 dragged to a close, the Broncos leapt back into action.
After going offense-heavy in the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft, surrounding sophomore quarterback Bo Nix with weapons in running back RJ Harvey and wide receiver Pat Bryant, Denver made a move to snag LSU edge Sai’vion Jones at the end of the third round Friday night. It’s the Broncos’ first defensive-line selection, a primary position of need entering this year’s draft.
The move came at a cost, as Denver leveraged the day’s moves for an additional fourth-round pick to leap up.
