In a draft laden with talent, the Denver Broncos could find players that could immediately step into a starting role based on the team’s current roster.
The Broncos have a young team that many would agree is on the rise. But there are still some pretty significant holes to fill.
The Broncos could use more help at wide receiver, cornerback, defensive line, inside linebacker and along the offensive line, but with the lack of depth at some of those positions, a talented rookie could come in and start in Week 1.
The Broncos will have 10 picks (barring trades) to find some of these players.
Of course, replacing starters is not going to be the number one goal of this draft as most of the players you will see on this list still have something to offer the team. But the main objective is to improve the overall talent on the team and if that means one of these players finds the bench, then so be it.
Generally, a first-round pick will become a starter sooner than later, but a player at any of the positions listed above could be taken. The Broncos could go wide receiver, defensive tackle, offensive tackle, inside linebacker or cornerback in the first round and that player would soon become a starter.
But starters can be found in any round of the draft and the Broncos could find a new starter to replace each of the following players in this year’s selection process.
