Needs Analysis: The Broncos are converting to a 3-4 defense and just don't have the front seven personnel to do it. Look for Denver to concentrate on defensive linemen and linebackers. The Jay Cutler situation is settled with his trade to Chicago. Kyle Orton has to be viewed as a stopgap, so a longer-term answer must be addressed in the draft, possibly even in the first round. A center could be added late in the draft to help the line.

I think Tyson Jackson makes so much sense, there, it can't possibly happen.

I think Tyson Jackson makes so much sense, there, it can't possibly happen.

I agree 100 % since they appear set to convert to a 3-4 right away.At Broncos camp the 3-man d-line consisted of: Mathias Askew, Ronnie Fields at Nose, Kenny Peterson. Even if all those outperform themselves Tyson Jackson is in a wholly different class than Askew and Peterson. Josh McDaniels will need his version of RIchard Seymour (who's been instrumental in the success of the Belichick led 3-4 in New England).Also, with the Way Chris Simms is looking early I think they might even pass on Mark Sanchez if he were to be available here (which isn't the scenario here).

I went with Jackson, but I would hope Cushing falls to their next 1st.
