2015 NFL Draft: Denver Broncos' Way-Too-Early 7-Round Mock

It's never too early for a mock draft. The Denver Broncos are a great team, but they still have areas they need to improve on. Here are seven guys who could really help them out.

1st Round: Vic Beasley, DE, Clemson

DeMarcus Ware is having a great season for Denver, but he’s 32 years old and beyond him they don’t have a lot of talent at defensive end. Beasley is projected by some as an OLB, but he has the talent to play defensive end at the next level as well. He is a great pass rusher who just needs to add a little size.

2nd Round: Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA

Denver is strong at OLB with Von Miller and Brandon Marshall, but they need some help in the middle. Kendricks is a very instinctive player who has had a great career at UCLA. He is a little small and sometimes struggles in pass coverage, but he would be a great pickup for Denver in Round 2.

3rd Round: Xavier Williams, DT, Northern Iowa

Some may see this being a little high for Williams, but I see him being a high riser in the evaluation period. Williams is big guy who is impressive against both the run and the pass. The only real knock on him is the competition level he faces playing for a small school, and he can stop a lot of that talk with a good performance in the East-West Shrine game. He would be another welcome addition to the Broncos’ defensive line.

4th Round: MyCole Pruitt, TE, Southern Illinois

Pruitt is another small-school prospect with a lot of talent. He is a very good pass catcher and really turned some heads with his play against Purdue earlier this season. He will also have a chance to show off more against better competition in the East-West Shrine game. With Julius Thomas approaching restricted free agency, Denver could use more depth at the position.

5th Round: Titus Davis, WR, Central Michigan

You can never have enough talented receivers for Peyton Manning, and Titus Davis has a ton of talent. At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds he combines size with speed in the 4.4 range. Fellow CMU alumni Antonio Brown is one of the best receivers in the NFL, and while Davis may not be quite as good, he can definitely be a starter in the NFL with some work. He would be a steal in Round 5.

6th Round: Shane Carden, QB, East Carolina

Peyton Manning can’t play forever, and the jury is still out on Brock Osweiler. It can’t hurt Denver to bring in another developmental QB, and Carden would be a great fit. He is a smart kid who has had an impressive career at ECU. Carden has already accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl.

7th Round: Adam Shead, OG, Oklahoma

Denver can never have enough protection for Peyton Manning. Shead isn’t an elite NFL prospect, but he has a lot of experience at a big-time college football program. He will add depth to the offensive line and could be a solid starter down the road.
