Troy Dye, linebacker, Oregon

It’s a bit surprising that Dye hasn’t already been picked, but he makes a ton of sense for the Broncos.

If you’re looking for a weakness in Dye’s game, about the only one you might be able to find is his size, which leads to a question of whether or not he’ll be strong enough to be able to hold up as an NFL linebacker.

He projects as an outside linebacker for most teams but if he could add enough weight without affecting his true athleticism, he could be moved to the inside and become a huge asset.

Dye is a sideline-to-sideline linebacker who is a tackling machine that can also drop back into coverage and hold his own. Who needs one of those guys? Who has needed one of those guys for some time now? The Broncos.

Shaun Bradley, linebacker, Temple

Bradley is a more of a long-term prospect at linebacker who is also undersized, but he was one of the team leaders for the Owls and could be coached into a rotational spot down the road.

He is also a great tackler and after earning the single-digit “Temple Tough” jersey number before his junior season, he possesses many of the qualities that Fangio looks for in his linebackers.

He could come in and make a difference on special teams right away and could work on his frame and ability to shed blocks with the proper instruction.

Bradley has some potential and as a late-round pick, could be an option for Denver.
