12. Denver Broncos

DT. Mississippi State. Jeffery Simmons . 12. player. 45.

If the Broncos are unable to address the quarterback position in this year’s draft, they might as well take advantage of the depth along the defensive line. The Broncos already have Von Miller, Bradley Chubb, Adam Gotsis, and Derek Wolfe under contract through next season, but there are a number of other players with expiring contracts whose loss could loom large for Denver. Thankfully, this year’s class is so deep that a top 10 talent could drop into the teens and the Broncos would be getting a top 10 talent here in Jeffery Simmons. He’s a playmaker on the interior and could line up at a number of different positions, helping open things up for the Broncos’ elite edge rushers.
