The Denver Broncos still need an answer opposite Patrick Surtain II.

When you have a player like Patrick Surtain II, you are off to a good start in the secondary, but theneed someone to step up opposite him. Damarri Mathis faltered in his second year, and Riley Moss hardly saw the field and never as a boundary corner.

Hadden has enough speed to stay in position when he has to carry receivers vertically, but his overall technique is well-developed to match all kinds of routes. He showed the necessary improvements to mirror in man coverage for the 2023 season and was clear he put in the work to improve. When playing in zone or off coverage, his awareness and instincts meet the requirements to handle it in the NFL.

Green is a fluid mover and doesn’t waste movement or need extra steps when changing direction. It helps keep him in phase when working against quick and shifty receivers through many moves into their route. His body control is excellent and helps him be fluid with his movements. Green would pair so well with Surtain and McMillian and could lead to a tremendous secondary if the safety position can be figured out. Phillips is a ferocious slot corner who can play some on the boundary in the right scheme. His experience at Kentucky came in zone coverage, but he might be better suited to a scheme that uses more man coverage.

The physicality is there in coverage, and Phillips will work through blockers as a run defender. His technique as a tackler is clean, and he has good length to wrap up and will drive through with his attempts. There are flashes of ball skills when attacking the catch point. Phillips' instincts and awareness are still developing, and he needs more experience to succeed.
