Josh Allen

Third Selection: Pick No. 71

Scenario No. 1: Broncos draft a Running Back with the 71st overall pick

New Mexico v San Diego State
Rashaad Penny

With the departure of CJ.Anderson the Broncos have a void to fill at the running back position, Saquan Barkley might be long gone by now but there might still be some really good ball carriers left in the draft at this point.

San Diego State's Rashaad Penny and USC's Roland Jones II are some of the intriguing options that John Elway will fancy having in his team.

Scenario No. 2: Broncos draft a Defensive End with the 71st overall pick

Texas A&M v LSU
Arden Key (49)

Broncos might be in a spot of bother regarding their starter at the defensive end position, Adam Gotsis is dealing with some off-field issues which might keep him from playing next season. It was a position that needed attention anyway but this situation makes it even more complicated for John Elway.

LSU's Arden Key and Ohio State's Sam Hubbard are a part of a really talented and deep edge rusher class and Broncos might benefit from either's presence in their defense.
