Reaction: Right now, NFL Draft Scout has Clark ranked as the 29th best player in this draft class. That’s a pretty good value for the 63rd pick in the draft if you ask me.

Clark is known as a gap-clogging lineman who would ideally fit as a nose tackle at the NFL level. The Broncos have a pretty darn good nose tackle in Sylvester Williams, but time has flown by, and Williams is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Isn’t that the pits?

Adding a player of Clark’s caliber late in the 2nd round would be a huge move for the Broncos — literally. Upgrading the defensive line is always an okay deal for me, and a guy with Clark’s ability and potential is certainly something Broncos fans would be excited about come draft weekend.
