2017 NFL Mock Draft: First-round projections after first bowl weekend

The Broncos need some help all along the offensive line. Even when Peyton Manning was still in town, this team struggled to maintain blocks and often times led to the veteran quarterback laying  on his back after a sack. Trevor Siemian has had the same issues this season, often times running for his life.

It’s not just the passing attack that has suffered, though, it’s also the run game. Devontae Booker has struggled to gain any traction during his rookie season and Kapri Bibbs and C.J. Anderson have both suffered injuries, but weren’t exactly setting the league on fire.

Despite this major need up front, I could see the Broncos looking to free agency as well as the later rounds to fill it. If Indiana’s Dan Feeney is available in round two, I wouldn’t be shocked to see them snag him, but that’s not entirely likely.

Defense has been a strength for the defending Super Bowl champs this season, but it could add some depth at the linebacker position. Zach Cunningham is one of the best backers available in this draft class and the Vanderbilt product has been getting major raves from scouts about his athleticism and coverage ability.

Cunningham could work on his open-field tackling, however.
