0:00On April 25, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton doubled down on his blueprint for success, snatching a defensive lineman with their first day too. Draft pick to fortify the trenches. Since Payton rolled into town, he's been all about stacking the line of scrimmage, bringing in vets like Mike McGlinchian, Zach Allen to set the tone. Up front. Payton broke it down, post pick, saying, top tier offensive and defensive lineman are gold and free agency, tough to snag without breaking the bank, so. The draft is where they hunt.

This move keeps Denver ahead of the curve, building a nasty front that could grind out winds for seasons ahead.
