Kwon Alexander, LB, Buccaneers

Kwon Alexander is one of the fastest linebackers in the NFL, and racked up 380 tackles in his first four NFL seasons as well as six interceptions.

The Broncos are apparently in the market for more speed at the linebacker position, so this seems like a no-brainer move.

The catch? Alexander is coming off of a torn ACL.

The Broncos — or any team that would sign Alexander for that matter — would be looking at potentially having to wait until the start of the season for Alexander to be ready, but this is a guy who could be the exact difference maker the Broncos need in the middle of their defense.
