Several teams are looking to make their way up the draft to get their hands on the player they covet most.

One team that has the potential to move up is the Denver Broncos.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Broncos are indeed discussing trading up.

We’ve mentioned #49ers are more than open to moving up on Thursday night. Let’s add another: #Broncos. They’re talking about moving up, too

One target could be former Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker C.J. Mosley, who the Broncos have shown a lot of interest in. They could also target former Ohio State Buckeyes’ linebacker Ryan Shazier or perhaps another defensive back to add to their rebuilt secondary.

If the Broncos do stand pat at 31, they could opt to selected former Minnesota Golden Gophers’ defensive tackle Ra’Shede Hageman, who is reportedly a favorite of head coach John Fox. Of course, Hageman’s stock is also on the rise, so they may have to trade up to get that done.
