Hakeem Adeniji is one of my favorite targets for the Broncos on day three. He has a lot of experience at left tackle, and there’s a chance he could wind up snapping as a center in the NFL.

He’s a smart player with versatility and experience, and legit pass pro chops.

Kevin Dotson is a riser in the draft process who looks like a quality depth piece at the guard position. If the Broncos feel like their interior needs more work after signing Graham Glasgow and retaining RFA Elijah Wilkinson, Dotson could be an option.

Perhaps he would work as a center in this scenario as well.

An injury caused Strnad’s 2019 season to be cut short, but he’s healthy now and I love his game as an eventual three-down player.

He might be strictly special teams early on, but Strnad has the athletic ability to play in coverage at the next level and provide a team like Denver with a three-down weapon.

Chris Harris Jr. is out and Bryce Callahan might only have one year left with the Broncos depending on how his health checks out.

Javaris Davis is a scrappy, speedy nickel corner who would fit in great with Vic Fangio’s defense.

The Broncos are rumored to be in the market for some more edge help in this draft, which is intriguing since they have Jeremiah Attaochu, Justin Hollins, and Malik Reed, but you can never have too many rushers in this league.
