Denver Broncos
I believe Denver Broncos G.M. John Elway will give quarterback Peyton Manning another year and he will take it. They have had problems protecting the old quarterback at times so they address it here. The Sun is setting on center Will Montgomery so center/tackle/whatever Cameron Erving is a good pick here.
Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts will get edge-rusher Robert Mathis Back and they’re okay in the secondary. They also have the No. 1 offense in the league but they need to stop the run to go to the next level. Inside linebackers D’Quell Jackson and Jerrell are pretty good so what they need is nose tackle Jordan Phillips from Oklahoma to clog the middle—plus he can rush the passer.
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers lost in the NFC Championship game to the Seattle Seahawks because they couldn’t stop the run. They can bring back B.J. Raji, who will be back from injury so they need an inside linebacker. So they take Mississippi State inside linebacker Benardrick McKinney to help the Packers run defense and Clay Mathews can focus on chasing quarterbacks.
