Linebacker

Current starters: Brandon Marshall, Todd Davis

Potential starter options in-house: Zaire Anderson

Developmental options: Jerrol Garcia-Williams, Joseph Jones, Christian Kuntz

The Broncos re-signed linebacker Todd Davis to a three-year, very team-friendly contract. He will continue to be a captain for the defense and signal caller, while Brandon Marshall also returns this season as the Broncos’ best all-around linebacker.

But upgrades are needed here.

I don’t know that anyone the Broncos would draft this year would immediately be a full-time starter, but someone who would certainly make an impact on third downs and eventually take over as a starter.

The Broncos are in luck, as there are going to be starter caliber inside linebackers through day three of this draft class.
