The Broncos have the tenth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Some mocks have Ed Oliver off the board before then. But if he falls, he’d be a good selection.
In this heavy defensive draft, the Denver Broncos hold the tenth pick. One spot where the Broncos need some help is at the nose tackle position. Perhaps the top player at that position is none other than Houston’s Ed Oliver.
There is no doubt that quite a few teams are going to be in need of his playmaking abilities. Recent mocks have the Houston defensive player gone long before the Denver Broncos even get a shot at drafting him.
But what if he was to fall to the tenth pick in the NFL Draft? Would he be a player that John Elway is willing to pick the phone up and give him a call? Seeing how the nose tackle position is right now, I would think of Oliver as a great draft choice for the Broncos.
How exactly can he benefit the Denver Broncos? Let’s find out.
