Although the Denver Broncos believe they have upgraded their defense with the additions of former Dallas Cowboys’ pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots’ cornerback Aqib Talib and former Cleveland Browns’ safety T.J. Ward, they still have a desire to get younger on defense through the draft.

One player that sticks out the Broncos (and probably every other team as well) is Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker C.J. Mosley.

According to Mike Klis of The Denver Post, Mosley is visiting with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday.

"The Broncos are visiting today and Tuesday with Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, according to two NFL sources. …….The 6-foot-2, 234-pound Mosley is the No. 1-rated middle linebacker in the draft, although the Broncos may consider him a better fit as a weak-side linebacker."

As Klis points out, Mosley likely won’t be available with the 31st overall pick so the Broncos may be considering a trade. Mosley is considered the top inside linebacker in the draft.
