Over the years, the defense has been the biggest strength of the Denver Broncos, and while this should continue to be the case in 2020, there’s always room for improvement.

In fact, the Broncos could finally be a team worth keeping an eye on in regards to making the leap to contender in the AFC since the offense seems to have finally found a quarterback with potential in Drew Lock.

To say it’s been unfair to watch Denver’s defense come through on their end while the offense struggles would be a huge understatement, but hopefully both sides of the football are on top of their game next season.

When looking at current needs on defense for the Broncos, cornerback arguably ranks near the top of the list for the offseason, and if they were to consider the position in the first round of the draft, Kristian Fulton is worth keeping an eye on.

From his explosiveness to impressive play in press coverage, Fulton seems like he would make for a great fit at cornerback for Denver, and benefit from being part of what already seems like a solid system.

As previously mentioned, defense has been the biggest strength of the Broncos over the last couple of years, and even if Fulton needed a bit of time to development, a selection like this would be well worth it.
