Denver Broncos
Quarterback: The trade of Jay Cutler automatically makes this a top priority for the Broncos. That is unless they believe Kyle Orton is more than a stopgap. Mark Sanchez played in the same system as Matt Cassel at USC, and we all know how much Josh McDaniels loves Cassel.
Nose tackle: If the Broncos are going to move toward a 3-4 defense, they need to find a big-bodied two-gapper who can clog up the middle. That player isn't on the roster at this point. Boston College's Ron Brace could be the answer in the second round.
Defensive end: Kenny Peterson re-signed with the Broncos and Darrell Reid came over from the Indianapolis Colts, but neither is an impact player with impressive size, strength or athleticism. LSU's Tyson Jackson is a grinder who could be an option in the first round, or the Broncos could take a player like San Jose State's Jarron Gilbert in the third round.
Safety/cornerback: The Broncos signed CB Andre' Goodman and safeties Renaldo Hill and Brian Dawkins in free agency, but all of them are 30 or older. Cornerback Champ Bailey (30) is no spring chicken either, so Denver needs a hybrid corner/safety for depth behind the veterans.
Center: Broncos starter Casey Wiegmann is 35, and it's a strong draft for centers. Connect the dots.
Linebacker: A team that plays a 3-4 defense can't have enough linebackers. The Broncos could use a pass rusher from the right side opposite Elvis Dumervil, and despite the signing of Andra Davis to play next to Boss Bailey, they also could use a strong tackler inside.
Wide receiver: Brandon Marshall could miss up to eight games if his latest off-the-field incident leads to a league-mandated suspension. Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokley and Jabar Gaffney can hold the fort for a few games, but beyond that, the Broncos have to think about another player to fill the void.
Kicker: Matt Prater has a strong leg, but his accuracy was a big question mark in 2008. He connected on just 73.5 percent of his field-goal attempts last season and has made 68.4 percent in his two-year NFL career. He's strictly a kickoff specialist.
Draft choices: Nos. 12, 18, 48, 79, 84, 114, 140, 149, 185, 225, 235
