THIRD ROUND

Carlos Henderson, WR, LOUISIANA TECH

Because of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, it’s easy to overlook the fact that the Broncos have depth issues at wide receiver. Part of that could be the lack of truly effective QB play the last couple of seasons, but it’s also the fact that guys have to find a way to get open and get yards after the catch on third downs.

Henderson left school early as one of the most productive receivers in the country this past season. He’s a big time scoring threat and can also return kicks.

Montravius Adams, DL, AUBURN

Talented but inconsistent, Adams has the requisite size and athleticism to be a pocket pushing nose tackle in Wade Phillips’ defense. The Broncos will have a void to fill in their defensive line rotation this offseason with the impending departure of Sylvester Williams, and could use depth even if Williams chooses to re-sign with the Broncos.

Marquez White, DB, FLORIDA STATE

White has the type of swagger and shut-down ability that would fit in very well with the Denver Broncos’ secondary. The Broncos are set to lose Kayvon Webster to free agency, and will need someone to develop that can eventually take over for Aqib Talib, if and when he is finished in the Mile High City.
