Broncos' Draft Targets: Cornerbacks with Starter Upside

0:00On April 17th, the Denver Broncos are scouting five cornerbacks with real starter upside in this year's draft, perfect for adding depth now and competing later, with Riley Moss and Jocquon McMillian only locked in through this season, the team could trade or reset the room around Patrick Sertain, the second and Jade Barron, those two fourth round picks give them ammo to grab guys like Muhammad, Ticario Davis, Dixon, Masses, and Marshall. This draft class lines up well for Denver's needs, especially since they've leaned heavy on cover, three schemes the past couple years. Muhammad brings smooth movement and awareness, but needs to bulk up to handle NFL bullies. Davis stands out with his massive length and ball skills, making him a plug and play outside option to replace Moss if they shift Barron inside. Fans and analysts see this as a smart move to build a young, versatile secondary that can scrap in the run game too. Dixon's got that feisty tackling drive and route mirroring, though his bending consistency snapped to snap or question marks.

1:03Masses flash picks and breakups at California, but penalties and run defense raise flags, kind of like some current Broncos DBs. Marshall offers experience for multiple schools, solid production with interceptions and breakups, plus inside outside flexibility. His aggression shines, but timing on breaks and jams needs work to avoid big plays. Broncos brass has plenty of scheme fits here to chew on heading into the draft, keeping that defense nasty for years.
