The 2019 NFL Draft has ended and the Denver Broncos will now be working to bring in some undrafted college free agents. Denver has had tremendous success with this part of the draft process. Last year, the snagged Pro Bowl running back Phillip Lindsay and several other role players.
With a new coaching staff in place, it will be interesting to see what kind of players Denver will be looking at to fill various depth roles heading into training camp. The Broncos ended up with a total of six draft picks, which means they could sign up to 16 undrafted free agents to fill out their roster if no other cuts made.
After making some roster moves to clear up additional spots, the Broncos signed a total of 17 UDFA signings and one rookie minicamp invite for UAB safety Broderick Thomas. This could be one of the biggest UDFA classes the team has had in quite a long time.
