2. Cohl Cabral, OL, Arizona State
Cabral is another versatile offensive lineman from the Pac-12. With the Broncos having a possible need at center, Cabral makes sense for them on Day 3 of the draft.
“Cabral is underrated for sure,” Brugler said. “Love his stubborn hands to stay connected. Wide, solid anchor to stay balanced in pass protection. He’s a little stiff with his lower body, but he can get the job done at the second level.”
3. Jared Hilbers, OT, Washington
Hilbers isn’t as well known as Trey Adams, the starting left tackle for the Washington Huskies, but he had a solid senior season, starting every game at right tackle. Hilbers was a two-year starter and has experience playing both tackle positions. With the Broncos in need of a swing tackle and a possible successor to Garett Bolles, Hilbers makes a ton of sense for the Broncos as a possible Day 3 target.
“Hilbers did a nice job this season, flying out of his stance with a relaxed punch and light feet,” Brugler said. “He doesn’t panic when the defender gets the upper hand, quickly resetting. His issues mostly come in the run game, struggling to drive defenders away from the ball. He needs to improve his overall technique to make it in the NFL.”
