It’s day two of the NFL Draft, and there are plenty of players on the board that will be of significant interest to the Denver Broncos.
So many, in fact, that I might even have to split them up by position instead of just making one big board. The Broncos took Shane Ray in the first round, giving up essentially nothing in terms of draft picks to do so, and they’ll have an opportunity on day two to upgrade their offensive line and whatever else they feel necessary for this team moving forward.
Here are the top players — by position — that I think would be of interest to the Broncos in the 2nd round.
Quarterback
1. Garrett Grayson, Colorado State
2. Bryce Petty, Baylor
3. Brett Hundley, UCLA
Running Back
1. Duke Johnson, Miami (FL)
2. Tevin Coleman, Indiana
3. Ameer Abdullah, Nebraska
Wide Receiver
1. Jaelen Strong, Arizona State
2. Tyler Lockett, Kansas State
3. Devin Smith, Ohio State

7. Eric Rowe, Utah
This is obviously a lengthy list of players, but the Broncos are clearly going to get a couple of guys on Friday that can help this team and even possibly be a starter. This is a deep class of players and after taking Shane Ray in round one, the Broncos are in good position to add to their offensive line of whatever else they want to do today.
