The Denver Broncos are building Lucas Krull's confidence and hyping up the fanbase.
OTA session on Thursday was concentrated on the quarterbacks, a group that head coach Sean Payton has already labeled his, "Orphan Dogs." Maybe Payton's nickname for his stable of signal-callers might catch on, but it's not the only positional contest Broncos fans need to pay close attention to moving forward.
Fans have questioned why the Broncos didn't draft a tight end this year. Perhaps an unnoticed puzzle piece could hold the key to unleashing more production at the position."I thought he's had a good week," Payton said about Krull on Thursday. "I said, 'If you didn't notice, everyone in the media was looking down at their rosters to see who 85 was.' I said, 'Someday soon, they're going to know who 85 is.' He's looking sharp.
Payton sees vast potential in Krull's skill set, obviously, and possibly enough to trust that the 25-year-old could have an increased role in 2024. The truth is, the continued absence of Dulcich, the oft-injured former third-round pick, has forced Payton's hand. After two years filled with disappointment and untimely setbacks, the Broncos once again feel more comfortable a more cautious approach will finally pay off on the Dulcich front. As much as anything else with Dulcich, it's a classic case of the Broncos not wanting to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
