2012 NFL Draft and the Denver Broncos

So now that all of this quarterback trouble has settled down, the Denver Broncos should be looking forward towards the NFL Draft at the end of this month. Now while there are many great prospects coming to the NFL Draft, the big question on everyone's mind is whether or not the Broncos should trade one of their first round draft picks - they have two - to open themselves up to what they REALLY need in the draft this year. Which means the question that SHOULD be on everyone's mind is what does the Broncos roster actually NEED? Well, they need to fill their defensive tackle and running back positions. The best defensive tackles that they should be looking at right now, according to Bleacher Report, are Kendall Reyes from Connecticut, Brandon Thompson from Clemson, Mike Martin from Michigan and Alameda Ta'amu from Washington. For the running back pick, their best options would be David Wilson from Virginia Tech, Doug Martin from Boise State and Lamar Miller from Miami. While it may be a risk for the Broncos to trade that extra first round draft pick, they might be actually opening themselves up to something better. They have a tendency to get caught up in the day and make draft picks that aren't right for what the roster is needing at all - something that GM Ted Sundquist is all too aware of. It'll be interesting to see what actually happens with these guys.
