Dave:
The Denver Broncos would have loved to grab Antonio Richardson here, but they’re fine with selecting Florida State’s Timmy Jernigan to strengthen a line that made little impact in the Super Bowl. He brings a solid pass-rush and the ability to get in the backfield with ease, as he proved to be able to do with the Seminoles. The Broncos could also address cornerback, which puts Virginia Tech’s Kyle Fuller in the conversation.

Giorgos:
The Denver Broncos need help at defensive line. Timmy Jernigan is better as a 4-3 defensive tackle but he could play in a two gap scheme. A polished prospect, Jernigan can get off blocks and tackle the running back or shoot the gap, penetrate the offensive line and get to the quarterback. He has the speed and the strength required to bull rush offensive linemen. There have been cencerns about his ability to stay on the field on all three down, but this is something that can be fixed witht he right conditioning.
