With their 111th overall selection in the 4th round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Boise State offensive linemen Kage Casey
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler had Casey as their 10th-best guard in the draft and had a 4th-5th round grade on him. Casey adds some depth to the Broncos interior offensive line and could be someone who pushes for a starting job down the road.
Casey is a tough, veteran blocker who relies on technical savvy and play recognition to keep defenders occupied. Despite some drifting and stiffness in his lower half, he is athletic enough to stay square in pass protection and has strong hands to combat what rushers throw at him. He doesn’t overwhelm targets in the run game but works himself in position to wall off and seal lanes. With a potential move inside to guard or center looming, he will need to learn how to fire his feet quicker to combat immediate contact in his face. Casey is a determined, assignment-sound blocker and plays to his strengths to work around some of his physical shortcomings. He projects best on the interior and should compete for meaningful snaps during his rookie season.
