Welcome to Day 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft!
The Denver Broncos are scheduled to have 10 picks in the draft this year, including the 15th overall pick in the first round. What positions will the Broncos be targeting with those picks? Here’s a quick recap of the team’s six biggest positions of need:
WR: Courtland Sutton made the Pro Bowl as an alternate last season but Denver will want to give young QB Drew Lock more weapons.
CB: After allowing Chris Harris to leave in free agency, the Broncos are thin at cornerback. They’ll probably add several CBs in the draft.
OT: Garett Bolles has just one year remaining on his contract and he’s not the long-term answer at left tackle.
IOL: After losing Connor McGovern during free agency, Denver needs to add a new starting-caliber guard or center to the offensive line.
ILB: The Broncos have one excellent inside linebacker in Alexander Johnson but the team needs a coverage linebacker who can eventually replace Todd Davis as a starter.
DL: Denver has a good front three in Shelby Harris, Mike Purcell and Jurrell Casey but none of those defenders are long-term solutions. The Broncos need to add depth at defensive end and nose tackle.
