31: Denver Broncos
Darron Lee – LB – Ohio State
The Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos are facing a daunting task this off-season. They need to re-sign Von Miller and be prepared to lose Danny Trevathan and possibly Brandon Marshall. Then they have to figure out what is going on with Peyton Manning and make a decision on Brock Osweiler who will be a free agent.
It’s going to be a costly off-season for the Broncos. Darron Lee will solve one of the holes for the Broncos and replace the loss at linebacker. It’s a small price to pay for being Super Bowl champions.
The New England Patriots do not have a first-round pick this upcoming draft as it was part of the “DeflateGate” punishment imposed by the NFL.
