With the Denver Broncos needing depth at the inside linebacker position, they address it with their first pick on day three and select from Wisconsin University T.J. Edwards. The one player that I was hoping Denver would draft is Mack Wilson from Alabama, but in this mock, he was picked up within minutes of the fourth round starting.

T.J. Edwards is a nice pick up for Denver though. He is a hard working guy who makes very little to no mistakes. However, according to Lance Zierlein, he does not have the speed to help chase down. 

His best qualities are his ball skills, which will help when it comes to coverage. He can be called upon at moment’s notice, so he should be a good player.
