In the wake of the Broncos' decision to part ways with inside linebacker Brandon Marshall, one mock draft after another had the Broncos poised to target that position with the No. 10 overall pick prior to the 2019 NFL Draft.
Then the Broncos traded down ... and when they did take a potential inside linebacker, they picked Justin Hollins, who also projects as an outside linebacker after flourishing in that role at Oregon.
Todd Davis and Josey Jewell, you're up.
Davis is the proven commodity of the duo, a starter since 2016 who has developed into one of the league's best players at diagnosing runs as they develop and preventing opposing backs from reaching the second level.
The Broncos know what they're getting with Davis. They're still learning with Jewell, a fourth-round pick last year who started nine games, posted 58 tackles but played in a scheme not well-suited to his skill set.
