Tristan Wirfs. 11. player. 45. . Offensive Tackle. Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos looked good in their victory against the Detroit Lions in Week 16, and will now look to ruin division rival Oakland’s season in Week 17. The Raiders will invade Mile High looking to clinch a playoff berth, and this Broncos team would like nothing more than to ruin their chances of making the playoffs as a Wild Card.

For Denver, this has been another up and down season, but they do have to be happy with the play of their rookie quarterback in recent weeks. Drew Lock looks to be the future of the team at he quarterback position, so now the franchise should go out and get him some help up front along the offensive line.

Denver has tried to bolster the offensive tackle position via the first round in recent years, but a player like Tristan Wirfs from Iowa may be too hard to pass up at No. 11 overall. Protecting Lock has to be priority No. 1 for this team moving forward, and in Wirfs, they could get a guy who can be their left tackle for the next ten years.

player. 53. . Defensive Tackle. Cleveland Browns. Derrick Brown. 12

The Cleveland Browns have been an absolute train wreck this season, and it all culminated with another sorry loss against a division rival on Sunday. In that game, star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was seen yelling at head coach Freddie Kitchens, who may be over his head as a head coach at the NFL level.

Looking at this roster, there is a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, which makes their terrible season even that more frustrating. During the 2020 NFL Draft, they have to do something to improve their defensive line, and adding a player like Derrick Brown from Auburn would be a perfect compliment to some of the stars they already have up front.

Brown is one of the better overall players in this draft class, and is the kind of interior lineman who can disrupt not only the passing game, but is a beast against the run. The Browns have more than their fair share of question marks heading into 2020, but building up the defensive line has to be a priority.
