4. William Bradley-King for Jeremiah Attaochu

For the past couple of seasons, Jeremiah Attaochu has been providing the Denver Broncos with some valuable depth off the edge in the pass rush department.

He played just under 40 percent of the defensive snaps this past season but the Broncos are almost undoubtedly going to be hoping once again in 2021 that Von Miller and Bradley Chubb can stay healthy for a season together with Malik Reed as the primary backup.

This won’t prevent the Broncos from looking at some possible dart throws off the edge in the 2021 NFL Draft and the sweet spot might be on day three.

One player who could really intrigue the Denver staff is Baylor’s William Bradley-King. Bradley-King played this past season at Baylor after transferring from Arkansas State.

This young pass rusher has some serious explosiveness out of his stance and he can convert speed to power despite checking in at just 6-foot-4, 250 pounds.

He would be a really fun option for the Broncos to slowly develop as a potential every-down edge player in the future.
