Personal Favorites: Von Miller is one of my favorites in this draft class. All upside when you talk about Miller. The best pass rusher that was in this class.Will help this pass rush out a lot. The only few thinds that Miller needs to work at a bit harder is becoming better in pass defense and playing the run. He does both well, but once he is coached on these he will be better. He is an all around athlete. Good tackler, and will help take some pressure off of Elvis Dumervil.
Orlando Franklin has very good talent. Flashes good quickness. Can control defenders. A strong upper body. Needs to improve on hand placement. Tends to get his hands in wrong positions. Will be a decent inside blocker for this Broncos offense.

Needs to Prove: Rahim Moore is a very talented safety. Moore has good read and react instincts. Also shows good instincts in run support and is a good leader. Things that get him in trouble on the field is he is not a consistent tacker in the open field. He needs to improve on man coverage just a little. It won't be often that he will have to play one-on-one, but he needs help in that area for when the time comes.

Personal Notes: I think that this was a very good draft for the Broncos. They had nine selections and got guys that will help this team a lot. You have to give a lot of credit to the Broncos front office on this draft. Two of the biggest questions though I have about this draft is that- One, should they have taken Von Miller over Marcell Dareus? Two, should you have taken two tight ends when you didn't help your defensive line? I thought that they needed to at least draft one or two defensive lineman, and what was better than taking Dareus? Instead the Broncos passed and took Miller. A very good draft for the Broncos nevertheless.
Grade: B
