Fourth Round

Jordan Wyatt, CB, SMU & Kingsley Keke, DT, Texas A&M

The Broncos will have two fourth round picks in this year’s draft (as well as two fifth-round picks) thanks to the trades of Demaryius Thomas and Trevor Siemian.

With the selection of Courtland Sutton in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Broncos might have also noticed some of his defensive counterpart in cornerback Jordan Wyatt.

Wyatt has 11 career interceptions (and counting) with four being returned for touchdowns. He has also forced eight fumbles and is a turnover machine. The Broncos would probably love to have someone with that kind of nose for the football in their defense right now.

With the other pick in round four, the Broncos get a developmental defensive tackle in Kingsley Keke out of Texas A&M. Keke has been a productive four-year player for the Aggies and is enjoying a great season statistically as a senior with 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks.

Next. Demaryius Thomas brutally honest in interview. dark

This would round out a class in which the Broncos address their need at quarterback and right tackle while also taking advantage of the defensive line depth and perhaps going above the call of duty at cornerback to see if anything sticks.
