After acquiring defensive lineman Jurrell Casey in a trade with the Titans, the Broncos have a projected starting front seven of Von Miller, Todd Davis, Alexander Johnson, Bradley Chubb, Casey, Mike Purcell and Shelby Harris.
Denver will undoubtedly add more depth and competition through the draft but Miller is excited about the roster even before the draft.
“It’ll be incredible [to have Casey],” Miller said during a conference call with reporters on Apri 6. “I’m looking forward to it. He’s a great player, five-time Pro Bowler. I’ve been around him at the Pro Bowl several times . . . . I’m just super excited to have a guy like that on my team where I can rush with him.
“We can do all sorts of things together. He can rush with me, rush with Chubb. We get Shelby back. We get DeMarcus Walker. We’re going to get Dre’Mont Jones back as well. I feel pretty excited about what we have. It’s going to be exciting.”
Chubb was injured for most of last season and teams gave extra attention to Miller, who had a down year. With Chubb now healthy again and Casey added to the rotation, teams won’t be able to focus on Miller so much.
That should allow Denver’s defense to generate plenty of pressure.
