During George Paton’s tenure as General Manager of the Denver Broncos, the franchise has used a lot of draft capital to bolster their secondary.
In 2021, the Broncos selected cornerbacks Patrick Surtain II and Kary Vincent Jr. A year later, the team selected Damarri Mathis landed Faion Hicks on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft. During the 2023 NFL Draft, the Broncos moved up for Riley Moss—who didn’t contribute much in his rookie season. For the fourth year in the row, the franchise selected a cornerback when they picked Missouri Tigers standout Kris Abrams-Draine in the fifth-round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
