Denver Broncos 7-round mock draft: Bringing balance to the roster

Round 3

*Broncos trade pick 71 to with the New York Jets for Round 3 Pick 22, Round 5 Pick 10, Round 7, Future Round 4 Pick

Pick 86 – R3 P9 – S Richie Grant – Central Florida

Things couldn’t have lined up any better in this mock draft.

Richie Grant checks in at 6-foot and194-pounds. The UCF safety was very productive over his entire college career.

He makes plays on the ball and showed versatility to play as a deep single-high safety, split with zone coverage, man-to-man slot coverage, and down near the box in run support.

Think of another Justin Simmons playing next to Justin Simmons. Guy just makes plays.

The team can use Grant in the three safety looks as he can play in the slot until he eventually replaces Kareem Jackson.
