2026 NFL Draft: Denver Broncos select Boise State OL Kage Casey with their 111th overall selection

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. More on this selection soon!
