They’ve filled a need on the defensive line with Tyler Onyedim, who is an athletic stud. The remaining positions that need to be addressed are linebacker, tight end, running back, and offensive tackle. Let’s take a look at who’s left to fill those needs.

Linebacker: Kyle Louis (Pittsburgh), Deontae Lawson (Alabama), Harold Perkins Jr. (LSU), Kaleb Elams-Orr (LSU), Bryce Boettcher (Oregon)Even though it’s day three, the Broncos are still able to snag a linebacker rated in the top ten of their position group, which would be a massive boost to this defense. Elams-Orr is a guy that boasts solid coverage ability against opposing tight ends and running backs, which is something that has been a weak point on this team for years. If Denver looks to bring in a run-defending specialist, then they should likely turn towards Alabama’s Lawson.

He’s known for his ability to slip blocks, shoot gaps, and stop opposing running backs in their tracks. He even has the added trait of being able to read the quarterback well while in zone coverage. Tight end: Justin Joly (NC State), Jack Endries (Texas), Joe Royer (Cincinnati), Michael Trigg (Baylor), Josh Cuevas (Alabama)There was a run on tight ends at the end of the second round and the beginning of the third round, but plenty of talent is still left at this position, which might be the only true hole on this Denver offense.

The two best fits for the Denver offense are probably Royer and Trigg. Royer is a reliable pass catcher that consistently makes plays in the short to intermediate range, something that Evan Engram failed to reliably provide last season. And while he might be able to break off huge chunks of yards after the catch, but he does have the ability of picking up a decent amount of yards before going down.

He should be an average blocker. On the other hand with Trigg you get a superior athlete that might actually bring what Denver thought Engram would with his route-running abilities and play that is closer to a wide receiver. However, his downside is that he can be hit-or-miss when it comes to the sureness of his hands.

For every contested catch he makes, there’s a drop that follows it up. Do not expect him to be a great blocker. Running back: Mike Washington (Arkansas), Nicholas Singleton (Penn State), Emmett Johnson (Nebraska), Demond Clairborne (Wake Forest), Adam Randall (Clemson)The Broncos are in a position where they don’t need to reach to make a move at running back, but getting another guy who can serve as a between-the-tackles sort of guy that can provide the same services that J.K.

Dobbins does would be a big insurance to that room. Singleton might be the best choice for what the Broncos need. His specialty is running north to south and not making many moves before or in the rushing lane.

He averaged 5.6 yards per carry in his four-year collegiate career and has the great ability of almost always falling forward. And if it’s not Singleton, then Randall would bring a much-needed big guy into the backfield, standing at 6’3” and 232 pounds, and he is still a supreme athlete as he transitioned to running back from the wide receiver position. Offensive tackle: Dametrious Crownover (Texas A&M), Drew Shelton (Penn State), Jude Bowry (Boston College), Kage Casey (Boise State), Isaiah World (Oregon)While Denver is currently good to go at the offensive tackle spot, they need to start looking ahead to the future.

Garett Bolles, while he just keeps getting better with age, likely only has two to three years left, and Mike McGlinchey likely should be replaced when his contract is up in two seasons.I’ve been talking about Kage Casey for the last two years now and Denver does have a good chance of drafting him. He’s a big guy at 6’6”, 310 pounds and has been a wall at left tackle for Boise State. He’s great in run protection and rarely gave up a sack or pressure in pass protection.

There’s also some good history for Denver when it comes to drafting Boise State offensive linemen. But if not Casey, then Isaiah World is a guy that fits the bill of a athletic stud with great physical attributes but is in need of refinement. He would be a great acquisition for Denver since he’d be able to sit under the tutelage of Zach Strief for a couple of seasons and sure up the gaps in his game.
