Draft Aftermath: How the Miles Scott Pick CHANGED the Safety Competition | Orange & Blue Today

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped the Broncos secondary, with a special focus on seventh‑round pick Miles Scott. Denver lost PJ Locke to the Cowboys in free agency — a major blow to their reliable depth — and now enters the season with talent at the top but real questions behind Brandon Jones and Talanoa Hufanga. Scott brings range, instincts, and special‑teams toughness, giving him a legitimate shot to make the roster and contribute immediately on teams. But can he carve out defensive snaps as a rookie. And what about JL Skinner, whose development becomes even more important with Locke gone and the depth chart thinning out. The Broncos’ back end has upside, but it also has uncertainty — and this draft class may need to grow up fast. 🔥 In this episode: How seventh‑rounder Miles Scott fits into Denver’s secondary Why losing PJ Locke puts pressure on the young safeties Whether Scott can earn rookie snaps — at least on special teams Where JL Skinner stands entering a pivotal year Why the Broncos’ safety depth is talented… but unproven A draft pick, a departure, and a secondary with something to prove — OBT breaks it all down.
