With no word on if the Denver Broncos are bringing back Domata Peko, the nose tackle position is currently under a question mark. The team is bringing back Shelby Harris on a second round tender. Beyond that, however, is an uncertainty.

As the weeks go on before the draft, the stock of Ed Oliver appears to be rising. It has risen to the point that he might not be an option for the Denver Broncos at number ten. However, in my draft world, he was available. So no doubt that this was the pick to make.

Oliver has the ability to create pressure on the inside. With Von Miller and Bradley Chubb incoming from the edge, having a sturdy inside rush could make this team dangerous.
