Third Round (pick 1/2): Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon

Near the top of the third round, the Broncos could look to address another major need on the offensive line, one that I’ve talked about many times being filled by in-house candidate Cyrus Kouandjio.

Though on paper, it’s hard to trust what the Broncos have right now, I’m not so sure that’s the case internally.

At any rate, I’m making this pick not because I don’t believe the Broncos have a viable solution in Kouandjio, but because I believe if he’s available in the third round, Crosby is precisely what this team likes at the right tackle position.

Crosby is a powerful run blocker who has excelled in Oregon’s system as a pass protector. He was inconsistent at Senior Bowl practices, but I think he can grow into a very good right tackle at the next level.
