Broncos Draft Kage Casey: Versatile Lineman for Payton's Attack

0:00It's April 25. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The Denver Broncos just snagged Boise State offensive lineman Cage Casey with the 111th pick in the fourth round of the 2000, 26 NFL draft. Casey shone as a left tackle in college but flexed as center and guard too, fitting right into head coach Sean Payton's love for Versatile lineman, since he took over in 2023. He's a two-time first team all-mountain West honoree with 46 games under his belt and now he'll learn from one of the league's best lines. Especially veteran left tackle Garrett Bullis, the guy he models his game after. Bullis finally hit Pro Bowl and all pro status last year. Media folks gave this pick a B-grade, seeing it as a smart long-term move since Casey probably sits his rookie year unless injuries hit the starters. With that flexibility, he'll battle roster battles and prep for the AFC West's fierce past rushers, building depth for Payton's ground and pound.
