Broncos general manager John Elway has had a busy offseason.
Elway’s list of new additions includes offensive lineman Graham Glasgow, running back Melvin Gordon, cornerback A.J. Bouye, defensive lineman Jurrell Casey and punter Sam Martin.
After making a few splashes in free agency, Denver now has 79 players under contract for the 2020 season. NFL teams are allowed to carry 90 players during the offseason so the Broncos have 11 open roster spots.
Denver will have 10 picks to use in the NFL draft (April 23-25) — if Elway uses all of those picks, the Broncos would be left with just one open spot on the roster. Elway will want to add some undrafted free agents so fans in Denver should expect several moves during the weekend of the draft.
The Broncos might make several trades during the draft, trading away draft picks to move up for prospects they covet. Denver could also include several players in trades (perhaps Jeff Heuerman or Royce Freeman) and the team might also release a few bottom-of-the-roster players after the draft to make room for UDFAs.
With few roster spots available, expect the Broncos to make some moves.
