Third round (third pick)

Another defensive lineman?

Why not.

Like I said before, if the Broncos lose one of Wolfe or Harris on the defensive front, it opens up an opportunity for someone else to come in and take that spot down.

With Derrick Brown likely manning the inside of Fangio’s defensive line in this scenario, I think the Broncos would gladly welcome a competition at the RDE spot and I’m sure they would love to add a guy like Murchison, who is coming from the same program that produced Bradley Chubb.

In two seasons with the Wolfpack, Murchison has 18 tackles for loss and 11 sacks with 66 total tackles.

He’s capable of playing the RDE position and kicking inside in nickel situations in Vic Fangio’s defense and you can never have too much good defensive line help in the NFL.
