The Broncos could go a variety of different routes with their first-round pick, even if they are limited to Alabama and LSU athletes.

If the Broncos are in the quarterback market (and in this mock draft, they aren’t), they could look into Joe Burrow or Tua Tagovailoa.

If they want to take a wide receiver, how about Jerry Jeudy or Henry Ruggs?

I think there’s more value at receiver later on. More on that in a bit.

The Broncos could also go with LSU’s stud cornerback Kristian Fulton in the first round, but I’m taking Jedrick Wills, one of the most improved offensive tackles in the NFL who would have to make a switch to left tackle in the NFL, or the Broncos would have to move Ja’Wuan James to the left side here.

Wills is a mauler in the run game but don’t let his size fool you — he’s an athlete who can mirror in pass protection, and dominate with length, strength, and great hand usage.
