DL. 15. South Carolina. JavonKinlaw. player. 850. logo. Pick Analysis

Javon Kinlaw is regarded as one of the top two interior defensive linemen in this year’s draft. The  Broncos are expected to lose some players along the defensive line.

Kinlaw could be the guy to fill the void(s) left by whoever of the following defensive linemen leave the team in free agency:

I have been told that Wolfe might be the one—and only one—of the group that has a chance to stay in Denver.

Part of what makes Kinlaw so intriguing of a prospect is his ability to push through offensive linemen (bullrush). According to PFF, Kinlaw lacks pass rush moves, however, I do not feel like that would be a major problem.

You know why?

Because of a certain player on the Denver defense: Von Miller. Miller is the king of pass rush moves. While outside linebacker and defensive tackle are different positions, I am sure Miller would be able to give Kinlaw some very helpful pointers to up his abilities.

Side note: In this particular mock draft, the top-three wideouts in this draft were already selected: CeeDee Lamb (11th overall to the Jets), Jerry Jeudy (12th overall to the Raiders), and Henry Ruggs III (13th overall to the Colts). Otherwise, wideout likely would have been the pick here.
