INDIANAPOLIS — If the Broncos needed immediate, every-down help at outside linebacker, their decision would have been made Sunday by watching Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat run the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine.
The 260-pound Sweat blew up social media by posting a time of 4.60 seconds, a defensive lineman record. Coupled with his on-field production (22 sacks in 2017 and 2018), Sweat helped himself on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf.
The Broncos are unlikely to go that direction with the 10th pick, because they have Von Miller and Bradley Chubb as book-end pass rushers.
