Inside Linebacker might not be a pressing need

Do not get me wrong, if Devin White were to fall to the Denver Broncos at ten, I would have no issue with the team taking him. But it seems like he could be taken earlier than expected. That would be a situation where I could see the Broncos trading down.

But does Denver need a inside linebacker at round one? There are plenty of arguments for that. But let us see who Denver has on the roster at inside linebacker.

Josey Jewell could have a breakout year in his second season. Now having finished his rookie campaign, there could be more to come from Jewell.

Todd Davis has been up and down, but he can make some solid plays. His 2018 campaign was actually pretty solid, recording over 100 tackles and making some key plays in the passing game with pass breakups.

The future is bright for both of these men, so that could be the reason why inside linebacker is not a need. So, go for that tight end or trade down.
