4. Hakeem Adeniji, OL, Kansas

A four-year starter for the Kansas Jayhawks, Adeniji is an intriguing projection to the next level as a tackle who looks like he could also play inside at either center or guard.

He has done some snapping in the past, and for the Broncos, he’s an intriguing fit as someone who could help out both as a swing tackle and possible starting center.

With center Connor McGovern hitting free agency and the Broncos not exercising their contract option on right guard Ron Leary, Adeniji is a player who might be able to fill multiple roles.

The pick of John Simpson in the previous round would give the Broncos a legit starter at right guard, but the idea of putting Adeniji at the center position is still in play.

He got some work with the interior linemen at the Senior Bowl and his play at left tackle would give the Broncos a valuable player who could compete for a starting job at center this year and possibly compete with Garett Bolles at left tackle next season.
