Denver Dailies: Broncos Roundup (Tuesday Edition)
Grading the NFL draft: Denver Broncos double down on defense - It was a draft with a capital D, as in Defense. The Broncos used four of their seven picks on defense, including their first pick of the draft —Cincinnati defensive tackle Derek Wolfe— in the second round (36th overall). The Packers, Eagles and Patriots used their first 18 selections combined on defense. In all, 50 defensive backs were selected, the highest total of players at any position.

Broncos’ Peyton Manning enjoys Coors Field as a Rockies fan - During a visit to Coors Field for the Rockies game Sunday, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had one big question: What was outfielder Michael Cuddyer doing occupying his locker?

Broncos’ Eric Decker quite the baseball player - We know Eric Decker as a 6’3″, 218 pound wide receiver who caught 44 passes for 612 yards and eight touchdowns last season as a member of the Denver Broncos. Had Decker chosen another career path — baseball — many of us would have never heard of him.
