Even after trading three players and five draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for quarterback Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos still have a second-round pick and two third-round picks to use to April’s draft.
With that in mind, Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling recently published an updated three-round pre-free agency NFL mock draft.
With their first pick in the mock (No. 64), Denver selects LSU linebacker Damone Clark. Linebacker, of course, could become less of a draft priority for the Broncos if one of their in-house linebackers are re-signed during free agency.
Easterling then has the Broncos using their second pick (No. 75) to select South Carolina edge defender Kingsley Enagbare. Even if Denver signs a bid-name pass rusher in free agency, the team would be wise to add more depth in the draft.
With their third pick in the mock draft (No. 96), the Broncos add Minnesota offensive tackle Daniel Faalele. Right tackle has been a problem position in Denver for years, and Faalele could be a long-term solution (the Broncos might also add a short-term fix in free agency).
