On a scale from 1 to 10, how are you feeling about this Broncos training camp roster so far? Also, what’s your overall reaction to the Broncos’ 2024 schedule?
— Ed Helinski, Auburn, N. Y.

My first conversation with Walton, years ago, was by telephone.
Molly Grabill wasn’t too thrilled with how she’s been running lately.
Monday was a different story.
