## Resource

The Denver Broncos’ 2021 NFL Draft class, headlined by superstar cornerback Pat Surtain II and standout offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz. How did George Paton’s first draft class age? Did the Broncos land franchise cornerstones, miss on key picks, or find long-term value? The guys break down every major selection, including Pat Surtain, Quinn Meinerz, Javonte Williams, Baron Browning, Caden Sterns, Jonathon Cooper and more. Plus, they discuss how this draft class shaped the Broncos’ roster, what it means for Sean Payton’s team moving forward, and where Denver’s 2021 class ranks among recent Broncos drafts. And what does the Myles Garret trade mean for the NFL? And should any NFL team take a swing on Brendan Sorsby in the NFL’s Supplemental Draft?
