ESPN’s draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has released his first mock draft of the year and has the Broncos upgrading their defense. In his first mock of the year, he has the Broncos selecting UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu to improve their pass rush.

Kiper notes that he believes Latu can become a 10-sack per season player for the Broncos and would be a boost to the Broncos pass rush and defense overall.
