Broncos potential draft prospects from Wyoming Cowboys

We’ll include Wyoming on this list because of the proximity to Colorado but also because Chad Muma, one of the more intriguing prospects in the draft, went to high school in Colorado.

We have covered Muma quite a bit on this site and his selection would likely be met with immediate applause from the fanbase. If I’m George Paton and Muma is on the board at No. 64, he is my pick.

Muma is a three-down linebacker and a player that would make a lot of sense in Denver not only due to his local ties but also because the Broncos could use him at the inside linebacker position which frankly, looks fairly weak heading into the draft.

Muma led the entire country with 142 tackles last season. He hits anything that moves, has a high football IQ and can drop back into coverage to work against a tight end going across the middle, something the Broncos have had difficulties with for quite some time.
