The Denver Broncos have options with their 15th overall pick, but there’s no way of knowing which will present itself. What are the top non-WR options?

The Denver Broncos have long been rumored to be interested in potentially picking a wide receiver with the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but what if the top players at that position are all gone by the 15th pick?

There are a number of options that could present themselves, but even with just a week before the 2020 NFL Draft, it’s really tough to know exactly which one(s) it will be.

The Broncos’ top needs at this point are at receiver, cornerback, and on the offensive line. Depending on what the team thinks of Garett Bolles and Ja’Wuan James projecting to the 2020 season (and beyond), the need on the offensive line could lean more heavily toward tackle than guard/center.

The Broncos could also upgrade elsewhere in the secondary, specifically at nickel corner/safety or dime linebacker.

In the first round of the NFL Draft, you’re obviously looking for an impact player and a player who can be part of your team’s foundation for the foreseeable future.

Last year, the Broncos took tight end Noah Fant after trading down in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, acquiring the capital to be able to select both Dalton Risner and Drew Lock in the second round while still getting Dre’Mont Jones in the third.

If the Broncos are unable to secure one of the receivers they covet the most staying put at the 15th slot in round one, what are their best options?

Let’s take a look through.
