The Denver Broncos were quite thin at cornerback following the 2020 season. The team has more than corrected that problem heading into 2021.
Though the team signed both Ronald Darby and Kyle Fuller are free agents, it used its first-round pick on a cornerback as well. Many draft analysts felt that Alabama’s Patrick Surtain was the top corner in the draft and the Broncos made sure to get him in the fold.
