Once again, the Broncos didn’t make a splashy pick. But they added depth on their offensive line with pick No. 111.

Casey is a versatile player. He can play tackle, but also move inside and play guard.

Given that the Broncos offensive line is set, that flexibility will be valuable in case of injury. Casey won’t supplant Garett Bolles or Mike McGlinchey at tackle, nor will he threaten Ben Powers or Quinn Meinerz at guard. But he’ll give Denver a developmental player who can step in if any of those four have to miss time. His NFL.com draft profile highlights his ability to play multiple positions.

“Well-proportioned, durable tackle prospect who counters his lack of length with persistence that helps him finish the job. Casey is a capable athlete with enough range to reach zone landmarks and the body control to redirect when mirroring edge-to-edge. Initial slides can be a little tight, causing occasional over-sets and early openings that leave him vulnerable to inside moves/spin counters. In the run game, he’s strong and steady as a drive blocker and his anchor projects as NFL-caliber as he continues to add functional mass. Casey could begin his career as a swing tackle with guard flexibility.”
