In the latest Broncos Mailbag, Parker Gabriel addressed fans' queries regarding the recent NFL draft decisions made by the Denver Broncos. The Broncos opted for Jahdae Barron, a cornerback from Texas, with the 20th overall pick, despite speculation they might trade down. General Manager George Paton confirmed the possibility of a trade, with Denver evaluating offers as the clock ticked down. However, they ultimately chose to select Barron, positioning him well within their defense alongside established players like Pat Surtain II.

Fans also raised concerns over other draft picks, particularly running back R.J. Harvey and wide receiver Pat Bryant, questioning whether they could have waited on these selections. Gabriel defended the picks, suggesting that Harvey likely wouldn't have been available later in the draft and indicated that Bryant's selection aligns with their immediate needs for offensive production.
