Denver Broncos Mock Draft and Team Needs
With very few selections in the 2023 NFL Draft, the team will have to make each pick count. They don’t have room for error when drafting players. The team needs help at edge rusher as well as depth on the offensive line to protect Russell Wilson. Linebacker and the secondary are areas of concern as the team hopes to make a playoff run in 2023.
The team could hopefully get some value out of linebacker Daiyan Henley from Washington State if they choose to go that route with its third-round pick. Also, edge rusher Adetomiwa Adebawore from Northwestern could be a solid addition in the middle rounds.
