Fangio said he believes last year's experience should help minimize the difficulty of another remote offseason.
"We're just going to have to do a good job of digging, like George said," Fangio said. "The coaches are going to have to chip in to dig, the scouts are going to have to dig. We're going to have to use anything and anybody to help us get the necessary information we need on these players in the draft. In regard to last year, obviously when COVID hit last year and things had to be done virtually, it was new for a lot of us. Now it's not going to be new. We're going to be more well versed in it, and it should be more of a smooth process if we have to go that route again. I think we'll all be better for it."
Paton said he's unsure whether he will attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, which is traditionally another opportunity for teams to scout players.
"I'm still up in the air," Paton said. "I'm just trying to see how I get through this week. I'm going to meet with the college scouting department and the pro scouting department and then make a decision from there."
As the staff prepares for the draft, it will also maintain a focus on free agency. Simmons is poised to enter unrestricted free agency if the team does not use the franchise tag or extend him, and the Broncos must also make a decision on Miller's team option that would keep him in Denver for 2021.
"George is going to do his work on both of those situations," Elway said. "He has to get acclimated to the new position and the new job and get to know everybody. There's a lot of different things that are going to go on. Von and Justin are two of the bigger things he's going to have to address. When I moved up, I planned on being a sounding board for him, and any information I can give him to help him make a better decision, I'm going to do. That's kind of my role and the role I'm looking forward to, especially with knowing everybody in the building and the team in order to help George and support him in any way I can."
Paton said the Broncos have "some young pieces in place" and "a healthy [salary] cap," which should give him some direction as he begins to decide which players the Broncos should target to re-sign or acquire in free agency or the draft.
In the early days, though, Paton is eager to get to work in settling into his new role.
"Together we'll work every single day to make Broncos Country proud," Paton said. "… I can't wait to get started. I fully embrace this challenge and this opportunity."
