Broncos' Elliss Move Impacts Draft Plans

0:00On April 21st, the Denver Broncos are experimenting with Edge Russia, Jonah Ellis, taking more snaps at Inside Linebacker this summer. They're doing it to get their top talent on the field together. This move raises questions about how it shapes their draft plans moving forward. The Inside Linebacker spot has evolved a lot lately. Teams pull guys from safety or edge roles, and there are solid college players shining there now. Ellis has the traits that fit, starting with just being a strong all-around football player. Fans and analysts see this as smart flexibility from the Bronco staff. It lets them maximize their current roster without forcing bad fits. The real impact? Keeping the best 11 out there, every snap. On the draft side, it's a mix of both influencing each other. The team stays locked in on players from Pick 45 to 75 overall. They've scoured the first round too, but this frees them to drill deep into mid-round scenarios. They're prepping every possible outcome, so draft day brings no shocks.
