Broncos add to CB depth with Kris Abrams-Draine
The Denver Broncos selected Missouri cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, No. 145 overall.
Abrams-Draine tallied 51 tackles, four interceptions, and 13 pass breakups in his final season at Missouri.
The Broncos add more depth to a cornerback group that features Pat Surtain and Levi Wallace.
Pre-draft profile
Despite having average measurables, Abrams-Draine has a ton of ball production. He has a good feel in the zone, which allows him to break on passes with anticipation. Abrams-Draine's lack of elite size can allow bigger receivers to wall him off at the catch point, but he attacks their arms and is often in a position to prevent runs after the reception. Abrams-Draine's scheme fit will be important as he's less productive in man coverage. Still, his feel should allow him to earn backup reps early.
