Work ethic, talent will vault Will Parks up the Broncos' depth chart - eventually

Jason Bartel, managing editor of the Arizona Desert Swarm, loves the second new safety the Broncos picked up in the sixth round - "Being around him for the last few years has been an honor really."

John Elway loves his defense guys on draft day, and just like his first year, the Broncos' GM selected a safety on both day two and three of the NFL Draft.

That second safety was Will Parks of Arizona, chosen in part for instinctive route reading and penchant for hitting hard. Although Parks only had four interceptions in his college career and none last year, he had a team-high 72 tackles plus seven passes defensed in 2015.
