Ronald Darby, CB, Philadelphia Eagles

Darby is capable of being one of the better starting cornerbacks in the NFL, but he can’t stay healthy, unfortunately.

Two years ago, the Buffalo Bills traded Darby — a former second-round pick out of Florida State — to the Philadelphia Eagles and he was expected to be their top shut-down guy.

Two years later, Darby has played in just 17 regular season games for the Eagles after suffering ankle and knee injuries in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

The Broncos have their own risk/reward player in Bradley Roby set to hit the free agent market, but Darby would be an out-of-house option to look into and is a guy who has proven himself capable of being a top flight corner when healthy.
