Murdock, Last Pick, Aims for Broncos Roster

0:00It's April 27. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI. I'm Cori with the story. The Denver Broncos just snagged the very last pick in the 2026 NFL draft, selecting linebacker Red Murdoch from Buffalo as Mr. Broncos, a relevant. This 6-2-233-pound beast, for 17 fumbles over three college seasons and tackled like a machine, always hunting. The ball. Earlier this week, draft buzz highlighted Murdoch's downhill physicality, the kind that delivers big hits and disrupts plays in the run game. He's got that relentless drive, exploding through traffic without losing balance. Analysts like Dame Brugler gave him a 4th or 5th round grade, ranking him 12th among linebackers in the class. Fans in Scouts see his toughness translating quick, though he's raw in space and coverage better suited for early downs than passing situations. Now, Murdoch eyes a roster spot in Denver, where depth behind starters Alex Singleton and Justin Strohnad is thin.

1:03He'll battle undrafted free agents like Jordan Turner, Kareen Reed, and Torian York in a heated preseason fight, shining brightest on special teams. With his turnover knack, expect Murdoch to make noise this off season, carving a niche as a special team's captain or goal-line enforcer. Proving last pick status means nothing. When you got that fire.
