Tremaine Edmunds- Edge Rusher- Virginia Tech

Edmunds is just 19-years-old but he is already a stud linebacker. At the NFL Combine, he ran a 4.54 40-yard dash, which is a freakish time for a 253-lb linebacker.

Sure, linebacker is a strength of the Denver Broncos overall, but drafting Edmunds would boost the position even more. The team can fill needs later on in the draft. Backup linebacker Corey Nelson left for the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency recently, making the move to draft Edmunds make more sense.

Due to his age, it seems likely that he will have a long, successful career. He would have plenty of time to get better at the game, and pairing him up with a guy such as Von Miller makes a ton of sense.

Denver also has Shane Ray, Shaq Barrett and Brandon Marshall at the linebacker position, among others, but maybe Edmunds becomes the next Miller. Now THAT would be scary.
