Darius Anderson, running back, TCU

The Broncos have a great one-two punch at running back with Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay. Royce Freeman is still on the roster as well, but a team can always use good depth at this position.

Anderson wasn’t a lights-out runner for the Horned Frogs but he did get the job done, averaging 5.6 yards per carry for his college career. He could be a guy to bring in here and there to chew up some tough yards and could possibly even add value as a kick returner.

Beyond Gordon, Lindsay and Freeman, Khalfani Muhammad is the only other running back currently on the roster. Expect to see the Broncos draft one or at the very least, sign one as an undrafted free agent.

Bryce Hall, cornerback, Virginia

Hall should go off the board soon on Saturday and might be the best player on this list. He is a solid cornerback who has all the ability to be a long-term starter in the league. Personally, I would have preferred him over Ojemudia.

He had an incredible 21 pass deflections during his junior season and the following year, teams chose not to throw at him nearly as much.

As stated earlier, the Broncos could use more depth at cornerback and the Broncos could do much worse than the former Virginia product.
