With the extra pick the Broncos have in the third round from their trade this past season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think we’ll see them add some more bulk on the defensive line.

At this point, we don’t know if Derek Wolfe or Shelby Harris are coming back. It doesn’t look like Adam Gotsis is a fit for this defense after he was benched and demoted to third string.

Who’s coming back next year besides Dre’Mont Jones, DeMarcus Walker, and maybe Mike Purcell?

The Broncos have to address the defensive line and they need to get some bulk up front.

Leki Fotu has been outstanding in the middle of a very stout Utah defense, racking up 5.5 tackles for loss already this season and proving his worth as a disruptive playmaker on the defensive interior.

The Broncos need some more size and beef up front. This guy could be an every-down 0T/1T for them.
