Drake Nevis, DT, LSU
After choosing Patrick Peterson and Kyle Rudolph with their first two picks, the Denver Broncos continue to build with highly talented players with the selection of DT Drake Nevis. Denver's biggest need might be defensive tackle. After switching to a 4-3 defense this offseason, Denver released veterans DTs Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan because of scheme fit and age. They needed to inject youth and talent into the position.
Drake Nevis would be considered a for sure first round pick if it wasn't for his size (6'1" 285lbs). As Bengals fans here, we saw the type of impact Geno Atkins can make. Drake Nevis is graded higher than Atkins was last year. With the NFL becoming a passing league, you can have a smaller DT to play under tackle and apply pressure from inside. Nevis can do just that. He can push the pocket and not allow QBs to step up, helping Elvis Dumerville collect sacks because of it. Denver probably still needs DT help, so look for another player to be selected later that can help the defense transition back to a more traditional 4-3 defense.
