Third Round

JordanElliott. player. . Pick Analysis. Defensive Line. Missouri. 77. 45

With the uncertainty of the Broncos bringing back Derek Wolfe or Shelby Harris, the Broncos look to address the defensive line with this pick. Jordan Elliott can provide that help the Broncos need on the line. He is currently a player who has a lot of promise once he gets adjusted to the NFL level.

As mentioned with the Baun pick, Elliott also can help stop the run. With Jurrell Casey on the defensive line, the Broncos could have a strong defensive line to help against the run and linemen that can get to the quarterback.

45. . Offensive Tackle. Georgia. IsaiahWilson. player. Pick Analysis. 83

The Broncos will need some help on the offensive line. Graham Glasgow will certainly help on the inside of the line, but with the uncertainty of Garett Bolles and the injury history of Ja’Wuan James, the Broncos will need to be prepared.

Isaiah Wilson is another prospect that can be ready for starter status in about a year or two once he gets adjusted to NFL life. But looking at his tape, he can certainly be a starter within a year or two.

. Cornerback. Notre Dame. 95. Pick Analysis. TroyPride Jr.. player. 45

The final pick in the third round sees the Broncos addressing the cornerback position. With A.J. Bouye in and Chris Harris Jr. moving on to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Broncos are going to need a player who can fill in at the second cornerback position.

Troy Pride Jr. has a knack for breaking up passes and creating turnovers. Whether he is tackling to force a fumble or intercepting passes, Pride Jr. can easily fill in as the cornerback opposite Bouye.
