Haason Reddick

LB, Temple

The Denver Broncos have a lot of questiosn as they head to next season, including who is going to be the team’s starting quarterback when they open their season in September. Trevor Siemian did a nice job in that role last season, playing very well for a guy who was starting for the first time in his NFL career. The Broncos failed to make the playoffs after winning the Super Bowl the year before, so expect John Elway to put together another solid team to make a run this season.

Head coach Gary Kubiak is gone, after retiring for health reasons this offseason. His replacement, Vance Joseph, has never been a head coach before, which should make this season interesting. The Broncos still have one of the better defenses in the league, but that unit took a hit when DeMarcus Ware shockingly retired earlier this month. They need to draft a player to take his spot, and Hasson Reddick could fill that role nicely.

Reddick is an incredible physical specimen, and he is built to be an game-changer at the NFL level right  now. The Broncos won a Super Bowl two years ago by having an elite defense, and they cannot afford to take a step back, especially with the questions at quarterback and running back. Drafting defense is the way to go in April, and if Reddick is available, they need to take him  to lessen the blow left by Ware’s departure.
