16. Denver Broncos

Trayvon Mullen . 16. player. 45. . CB. Clemson

The Denver Broncos have one of the best pass rushes in football. Yet they also have the 22nd ranked pass defense. In those situations, it’s obvious what the problem is. The coverage isn’t good enough. Trading Aqib Talib, while understandable in some ways, is still a tough blow that they haven’t managed to figure out. Odds are they’ll just have to reload at cornerback next year. Trayvon Mullen has all the tools in the shed. He’s big, strong, and fast while playing in a defensive system that has produced quality NFL players already. He should be able to step in right away and contribute.
