Defensive Tackle Denver ranked 30th in the league in run defense during 2007. A powerful run-stuffing defensive tackle is needed to collapse opposing offenses at the point of attack and take away their inside running game.
Left Offensive Tackle Unless the Broncos feel Ryan Harris can take over as a starting left offensive tackle, a zone-blocking rookie to start at left offensive tackle will need to be drafted to protect quarterback Jay Cutler.
Defensive Tackle Questions allegedly have surfaced about the off field behavior of Marcus Thomas. Accordingly, Denver may need to draft a second defensive tackle.
Safety A safety to replace the 36-year-old John Lynch who can cover and defend against the run is needed.
Running Back Due to the uncertain future of Travis Henry, another runner is needed. The Broncos will probably turn another second-day draft choice into a very good runner.
Special Teams The Broncos need help covering punts and kickoffs.
