PHOTOS: Top 10 Broncos prospects
May 7, 2014
1. CB Kyle Fuller, Virginia Tech, 6-0, 190: Not a burner, but compensates with smart play. Already considered NFL ready because of his ability to play press coverage and tackle in the open field. Broncos would have to trade up to have a shot at him, possibly surrendering second and third-round picks next year. (AP Photo/Dave Martin) ( APTOPIX Sugar Bowl Football )
2. CB Jason Verrett, TCU, 5-9, 189:Doesn't pass the eye test, because of his size. But he grows on you with his relentless effort, speed and instincts. The Broncos need a nickel corner, and he could play right away. With teams running so many plays in space, every team needs four good corners, and the Broncos are no exception.

3. G Xavier Su'a-Filo, UCLA, 6-4, 307: Doesn't look the part, but his strength is ridiculous. Not a tackle. His power could allow him to start at guard as an NFL rookie. Broncos' offensive line is uncertain depending how Orlando Franklin makes transition to left guard. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy) ( NFL Combine Football )
4. LB C.J. Mosley, Alabama, 6-foot-2, 234 pounds: Visited Broncos. Energy forever. Injuries, medical issues create durability concerns. Bills, Ravens, Packers possible first-round spots, barring trade. Broncos would need bold move to get him. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy) ( NFL Combine Football )
5. LB Ryan Shazier, Ohio State, 6-1, 237: Has added 17 pounds in offseason and still runs sub 4.4 40-yard-dash as sideline-to-sideline player. Is likely to go in top 20. The Packers are eyeing him. (Photo by Mike McGinnis/Getty Images) ( 72317041 )
6. LB Kyle Van Noy, BYU, 6-3, 243: A playmaker who registered 13 sacks last season. Athletic enough to play in coverage. Projects as late first- or early second-round pick. Broncos should be able to get him even if stand pat. (Photo by George Frey/Getty Images) ( 76570945 )

8. DT Ra'Shede Hageman, Minnesota, 6-6, 310: Plays with a mean streak, and there are reports that Broncos coach John Fox wants him. But it's not a need, and the Broncos took defensive tackles early the past two years with Sylvester Williams and Derek Wolfe. Hageman has eye-popping strength. But is raw, so his upside is matched by his upside. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy) ( NFL Combine Football )
9. CB Bradley Roby, Ohio State, 5-11, 194: Natural athlete with a high ceiling. Eager tackler who's not afraid to mix it up on running plays. But off-the-field problems have sparked concern among NFL teams. He could fall into the Broncos' lap at No. 31, creating the issue of whether his talent will outweigh potential character issues.

10. LB Chris Borland, Wisconsin, 5-11, 248: Trusted college player whose lack of speed might get exposed in NFL. He seeks contact, but it's hard to project him as every-down contributor. Would be nice fit, but not at No. 31. (Photo by Mike McGinnis/Getty Images) ( 76910017 )
