Denver Broncos: Which draft picks are the most exciting?
Justin Strnad, ILB
It was important for the Broncos to address the inside linebacker position in the draft. The Broncos have struggled to cover tight ends for a while and they are fully aware of that.
That’s a big part of why they selected Wake Forest inside linebacker Justin Strnad.
I know that Strnad is not the fastest (4.74 40-yard dash), but tight ends are also not typically much faster so he should be fine.
Strnad should play a decent role in run defense. He recorded 244 tackle during his collegiate career at Wake Forest.
I look forward to seeing how much of an impact Strnad can make on the roster that desperately needs help at inside linebacker.
