It's no secret that the Broncos need to upgrade at middle linebacker, which has led to a strong link between Denver and McKinney heading into the draft. There have been one or two other linebackers mentioned with regard to the Broncos, but McKinney is arguably the best prospect of the group. Denver appears to be taking a good look at him, as he could be a player they target on Day 2 of the draft.

Most believe the Broncos will be taking an offensive lineman in the first round, although many are overlooking Erving as an obvious target. But there has been talk about Erving being a good fit for the Broncos, in part due to his versatility, as he played both tackle and center at Florida State. Considering all the talk, it wouldn't be a shock to see the Broncos take Erving No. 28 overall.

3. Shopping For Running Backs

The Broncos are not sold on Montee Ball, and despite an impressive season from C.J. Anderson last year, Denver is taking a close look at several running backs heading into the draft. They may not be able to make running back a priority and will likely miss out on Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon. But the Broncos have met with a slew of other backs, and they may take one of them before the end of Day 2.

The Broncos are one of the teams rumored to be thinking about moving up in the first round. With the No. 28 overall pick and their window to win a Super Bowl quickly closing, it would make sense for Denver to move up to find an impact player in the top half of the round. If John Elway eyes a player he doesn't think will be available at No. 28, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Broncos trade up.

We know that Peyton Manning doesn't have too many more years left in the NFL, and while Denver has been grooming Brock Osweiler for a few years to take the job, there are rumblings that the Broncos are taking a close look at the quarterbacks in this year's draft. They would obviously have to find a quarterback in the middle rounds, but the Broncos taking a quarterback is something to keep an eye on during the draft.

Osweiler Seen Shoving Woman While Holding A Pizza

Brock Osweiler was recently offered a $45 million contract by the Denver Broncos, so you would think he'd want to be on his best behavior. Instead, in a new TMZ video, Osweiler, 25, was recently seen pushing a woman while holding a box of (delicious) pizza.
