<p>On Friday’s <em>Orange & Blue Today</em>, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason sit down with <strong>Matt Waldman</strong>, author of the <strong>Rookie Scouting Portfolio</strong> and the best skill‑position evaluator in the business. The Broncos don’t have premium picks this year, so can they still find <strong>impact playmakers in the mid‑rounds</strong> of the 2026 NFL Draft. Waldman brings the truth — who’s real, who’s risky, and who fits Denver’s offense.</p>
<p>The guys dig into whether <strong>Jadarian Price</strong> could slide into Denver’s range in Round 2, and if <strong>Eli Stowers</strong> is the best move tight end the Broncos can realistically land where they’re drafting. And then there’s the looming problem in the AFC West: <strong>Fernando Mendoza</strong>, the likely No. 1 overall pick of the Raiders. Waldman explains exactly why the Indiana QB could become a major headache for Denver’s defense for years.</p>
