Safety

Addition: Su’a Cravens

Losses: None

The trade to land Cravens could end up being a major steal. You can read about the trade details in a previous post by Cameron Parker. The Broncos had a first-round grade on Cravens when he came out in the draft and he is still only 22 years old. Cravens will see a lot of playing time next to Justin Simmons and potential at linebacker in sub packages.

The Verdict: Another easy one….improved.

With a group consisting of Simmons, Cravens, Will Parks and Darian Stewart, the Broncos will be able to have a good rotation on the back end of their defense. Having both depth and talent should allow the safety group to be one of the most improved position group on the team for 2018.
