The Denver Broncos would benefit from elite defensive play." for SiriusXM.The McCaffrey name has become synonymous with football in Colorado. Ed McCaffrey Royce Freeman Jersey White , won a championship with the 49ers, and 2 championships as an All-Pro wide receiver with the Broncos. Today, he is Head Coach of Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, CO. Ed’s four sons Christian, Dylan, Max, and Luke have all followed in their fathers footsteps aspiring for collegiate and professional success. The McCaffreys know football.

Devin White’s a good pick. I’m big on Devin Bush. Some people, I don’t think are giving him the credit he deserves. He may be a top 10 guy.”It sounds like Eddie Mac has done his homework on three of this draft’s biggest prospects.LSU’s Devin White has the potential to be a key component of the Vic Fangio Defense. Many estimate that White will be long gone by the time the Broncos are on the clock. White’s explosiveness, and rare speed can propel him into a starting linebacker role on any team.Photo by Wesley Hitt / Getty ImagesNFL Network makes the compelling argument that Alabama’s Quinnen Williams is the best overall player in this draft. Initially mocked between pick 1-5, there have been recent mocks showing a fall for Williams. His ability to disrupt both the rushing and passing game, make him a valuable defensive lineman.Photo by Christian Petersen / Getty ImagesThen Joe Flacco Jersey , there’s Peter King’s mock draft, where he can see the Broncos selecting Michigan’s Devin Bush at No. 10. If selected, Bush’s ability to excel in space and coverage could compliment pass rushing from Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. Bush is a sideline to sideline player, who prides himself on production and play recognition. Photo by Paul Sancya / Associated PressThe 2019 NFL Draft is projected to have a deep and talented defensive class. Having a second top 10 pick in a row, the Broncos must identify the future of their franchise.With positions of need at linebacker and defensive line, will the Broncos go defense in this years draft? In the NFL being able to pressure the opposing QB with only three or four pass rushers is essential to stopping opposing offenses. The flip-side of that is that some QB’s are just better against the blitz than others. So far this year, by passer rating Bradley Chubb Jersey White , Matt Stafford has been the best QB in the league vs the blitz (five or more pass rushers) with a passer rating of 128.3. Conversely, Sam Darnold has been the worst with a passer rating of 30.6. Joe Flacco is currently ranked 27th in the league vs the blitz with a rating of 74.9. See the full table below. All data is from ESPN.com via Elias Sports Bureau.We should not be surprised by Flacco’s rating. He has been fairly bad against the blitz since his first few years in the league. You can see his year-by-year performance in this table. The data was missing for 2011, 2017 and 2018 (no idea why). Flacco missed the entire 2016 season with an ACL tear. I don’t know that Brandon Allen or Drew Lock is going to be an improvement. You can see from the full table of 2019 QB’s that many rookie and/or second year QB’s are struggling against the blitz. I do know that both Brandon Allen and Drew Lock could beat a turtle in a foot race, so they will at least be a threat to scramble on plays where the OL allows immediate pressure (and there will be many of those with our starting OT’s). The performance of Kyle Allen should give us some hope. Despite being an undrafted rookie thrust into a starting role, Allen has handled the blitz fairly well so far this season.
