Still work to do, but draft board leans toward defense in first round for Broncos

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As the Denver Broncos continue to try to fill some needs with the “value’’ signings in free agency John Elway often speaks about, it’s never a bad time to turn an eye toward the draft.

And while Mel Kiper Jr.’s Big Board is a ranking of players and not a mock draft -- his next mock draft is expected next week -- it’s a good indicator of where he believes the strength of the draft board will be when the Broncos are scheduled to pick at No. 20 in the first round.
