No. 1- C.J. Anderson

For this player, I struggled between him and Kapri Bibbs. And the only reason either player would be on this list is if a certain event happens on Day One or Two of the draft.

The Denver Broncos draft either Christian McCaffrey or Joe Mixon.

If either one of those players are drafted by the Broncos, then I could see some teams looking at trading for one of the running backs.

I ended up choosing C.J. Anderson. I know that this will be a very unpopular move for most of the Broncos fans. But here me out on why I made this choice.

His contract is unfavorable for a player who has shown flashes of excellence. But he seems to only perform towards the end of the season. Four years for $18 millon might be a bit of a stretch.

And let us not forget that he is coming back from a torn meniscus. Vance Joseph mentioned that he may not be fully ready for OTA’s that start on Monday.

If the Broncos are looking at Mixon or McCaffrey, do not be surprised if C.J. is on the move.
