20. Denver Broncos

20. player. 45. Offensive line play was a huge reason why the Broncos failed to make the playoffs last year. Left tackle is a spot they need to get fixed right away. Ryan Ramczyk has the required size, fluidity and quickness to man that position. Assuming he’s healthy, it’s an easy pick.. OT. Wisconsin. Ryan Ramczyk

51. Denver Broncos

TE. South Alabama. Gerald Everett . 51. player. 45. Losing what Julius Thomas brought to the offense was huge in Denver. They just weren’t the same, even in 2015. Having somebody like Gerald Everett who can slice up the seam with speed and strong hands will make life so much easier for everybody else.

82. Denver Broncos

Big defensive lineman who can plug gaps and rush the passer are at a premium in the NFL. Malik Jackson proved that. Montravius Adams took awhile to blossom but he showcased those skills for Auburn last year. He still has growing to do, but the chops are there.. DT. Auburn. Montravius Adams . 82. player. 45

101. Denver Broncos

WR. Eastern Washington. Cooper Kupp . 101. player. 45. He may not have tested well at the combine but the tape doesn’t lie. Cooper Kupp makes plays. He’s just so consistent as a receiver, understanding how to get himself open by setting up defensive backs. He’ll be tremendous from the slot, especially with his good size.

126. Denver Broncos

Alex Anzalone . 126. player. 45. Injuries are what knocked Alex Anzalone down to this position because if he’d stayed healthy it’s obvious the young man is a gifted linebacker. Such a good athlete who covers lots of ground and understands how to read what offenses are doing before the snap.. ILB. Florida

177. Denver Broncos

T.J. Logan . 177. player. 45. The Broncos really couldn’t find the spark in their running game last season. So it shouldn’t surprise that they decide to continue adding at running back. T.J. Logan is a determined player who runs with some pop and has an intriguing, versatile skill set.. RB. North Carolina

203. Denver Broncos

Arkansas. Dan Skipper . 203. player. 45. A giant tackle with the size and power base to handle just about any NFL edge rusher. Does have athletic limitations though, which will require some scheming considerations.. OT

238. Denver Broncos

player. 45. People lost faith in him last season after a host of injury problems. Still, Kiel has the size and arm to succeed in the NFL. Can he learn to grasp the position is the big question.. QB. Cincinnati. Gunner Kiel . 238

252. Denver Broncos

45. A big, lengthy cornerback who may not be fast but showcases the exact traits of a press corner that should fit well with what the Broncos like to do on defense.. CB. Montana. J.R. Nelson . 252. player

253. Denver Broncos

Marshall. Michael Clark . 253. player. 45. There have been very few 6’7″ wide receivers in the NFL. Clark has the necessary speed to compliment that size. He’s just woefully unprepared for the details of playing the position.. WR
