22. player. 45. The Denver Broncos defense isn’t playing quite as well as it did last year. They no longer stop the run or cover the tight end due to the loss of inside linebacker Danny Trevathan. Reuben Foster of Alabama is the perfect guy make up for the loss of Trevathan. <p>At 6’1″, 235 pounds, he’s similar in size and in play-style to Trevathan. He’s solid against the run and does a good job in coverage on TEs, RBs, whoever he has to cover. You can see how losing a player like that is negatively affecting the Broncos defense.</p> <p>So the Broncos take Foster at No. 22 overall and the defense is back. From here, the broncos could use most of the rest of the draft to touch up their offensive line. QB Trevor Siemian is coming along and will be much better in 2017 as will RB Devontae Booker.</p> <p>Getting the Broncos defense back to that historic level should be priority No. 1. A defense like that automatically gives them at least a shot to go back to the Super Bowl. They’re only one player away from it and Foster could very well be that guy.</p>. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster
