One thing I always look for with the Denver Broncos and defensive backs in the draft is experience and playmaking ability. Shaquill Griffin has both.

While leading UCF with four interceptions this past season, Griffin also had 28 pass breakups over the last two seasons. This is a player who is aggressive in pursuing the football, but also very active in run support.

The Broncos also value versatility highly, and Griffin has played some safety in his college career. Add in the fact that he had excellent measurables at the Scouting Combine (4.38 second 40 yard dash, 38.5 inch vertical jump) and this could be a really nice value in the fourth round getting a guy out of a deep defensive backs class like this one.
