The Denver Broncos made the safety position a real focus in the fifth round, zeroing in on the fact that the depth behind starters Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson is pretty weak.

After taking Caden Sterns with their first pick of the fifth round, the Broncos added a second safety in Indiana’s Jamar Johnson.
