Very happy for him. As a Chiefs fan though, I don't like it. Would have liked to see the Vikings grab him.
The kid played so hard for us for so long.
Well deserved, he dominated the big 12 this year.
And now Charlie.Go get ‘em!!! Rooting for them now….who knew?
Bronco fan here and loved watching Reggie Hayward after being drafted by them in 2001, Round 3, Pick 87.
Glad to see Enyi starting his career there too.

CBS Analysis:
Big-time sleeper as an older prospect. Played and won up and down the line of scrimmage in college with awesome blend of burst, power, pass-rush moves. Unique body type. This is exactly what the Broncos needed after trading Shelby Harris to Seattle. Grade: A

With his size and athleticism I was surprised he didn’t get more pre draft hype, cool to see him go that early.
Congrats Enyi!!
Also a Chiefs fan here. But I'll be rooting for Enyi and the Broncos when I can.

I think he might have the best career of any of our guys, really underrated player.
History sometimes repeats itself. In 2001, ISU DE Reggie Hayward was drafted 87th overall by the Denver Broncos where he played 4 solid years before cashing in on free agency and signing with the Jaguars:

In his years with ISU, Reggie anchored a DL, together with DT James Reed, who also was drafted #206 by the New York Jets in 2001 during an era when ISU became competitive again for the first time since the early 1980s. They also helped win the first bowl game for ISU with Sage Rosenfels at QB. Sage, of course, was also drafted #109 by Miami in 2001.

Whoa, I actually had Enyi going to Denver at pick 116. Perfect fit for him!
I think Rose will stick. Maybe not a starter, but he'll be on a 53 man roster (if not this year then within a few years)
Mike Rose is in a perfect opportunity. Chiefs need productive LBs, and they run a pretty agressive scheme. I think he will make a splash there!
