Cornerback: Alijah Holder

It was tough to pick one of the cornerbacks here.

De’Vante Bausby isn’t really a sleeper, even though he’s a longshot based on his salary this year and his experience as a professional player.

Horace Richardson and Linden Stephens — both guys the Broncos picked up last year — qualify for this spot as well.

I went with Alijah Holder, whose signing bonus as an undrafted player seems to indicate he was one of the Broncos’ ‘priority’ pickups following the NFL Draft.

If they had another sixth or seventh-round pick, they might have taken this guy.

What Holder lacked in consistent production in college got him undrafted, but he has all of the tools to be a nice developmental player in the NFL and the Broncos may have a need at cornerback sooner rather than later.
