Could the Broncos be in the market for a defensive back in the 2020 NFL draft? ESPN’s Todd McShay thinks so.
In the ESPN analyst’s “,” McShay has the Broncos selecting LSU safety Grant Delpit with the third overall pick.
“The Broncos — or any team, for that matter — would covet this kind of range in their defensive backfield,” he writes. “The 6-3 playmaker had 74 tackles, five interceptions, nine passes broken up, five sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss in 2018. That’s quite a résumé. And Justin Simmons is set to be a free agent after this season.”
A couple other notes: Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa goes to the Dolphins with the No. 1 overall pick. Colorado Buffaloes star wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is the No. 8 pick to the New York Giants.
