We have entered the final day of the 2020 NFL Draft with the opportunity to see some possible starters for the Denver Broncos still on the board.

The Denver Broncos did address cornerback and interior offensive line along with the defensive line on day two of the NFL Draft. There had been some buzz that Lloyd Cushenberry would be their pick in the second round, but as an 83rd overall selection, it seemed like a stretch.

Denver was fortunate to snag Cushenberry with Dallas (and the retirement of Travis Frederick) on the clock before them.

They addressed cornerback with an Iowa cornerback, Michael Ojemudia. Ojemudia is a sound technique cornerback that can play in the zone.

The question has now become where does Denver attack the final day of the draft?

Linebacker is still an area to address. Players like Akeem Davis-Gaither and Troy Dye might be too good to pass up in the fourth round. The Broncos still need a safety/cornerback to fill that replacement role of Will Parks.

Amik Robertson and Myles Dorn can fit that bill of Denver so chose to venture there. A wildcard option is a true nose tackle. Those players can happen from 5th to 7th rounds.

Lastly comes the offensive line.

Denver would not have surprised anyone by drafting a new tackle in previous rounds, but they seem content on having Bolles start this year than making a final determination on where to go from here. This leaves a potential door open to draft a developmental offensive linemen or tackle specifically.

Denver can look at the likes of Saadhiq Charles, Ben Bartch, Trey Adams, and Hakeem Adeniji. There are options to groom at the tackle position. I might lean to Charles. Despite off-field issues, I love the idea to add a player with rapport with Cushenberry already. Adeniji is one of the better projects too. There are surprisingly good projects at tackle when Denver goes that route.

Denver has had a solid draft building through a solid offensive foundation and believing their young nucleus. The Broncos look to be rebooted on offense to compete with Kansas City and everyone should be on board.

There is still a day to go with undrafted free agents to come. Undrafted free agents are where the Denver Broncos have made their money in year’s past. Look for more of the same this season.
