Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN: TE T.J. Hockenson, Iowa


We know Joe Flacco loves throwing to tight ends, and Hockenson would give him a true No. 1 tight end to target. [April 3]


Todd McShay, ESPN: QB Drew Lock, Missouri


I don't love this pairing, but I also don't think Flacco is the long-term quarterback answer. If Lock is already off the board, pass-catcher or defensive line makes the most sense for John Elway at No. 10. [April 3]


Robert Klemko, Sports Illustrated: QB Drew Lock, Missouri


John Elway takes another shot at drafting Denver's quarterback of the future in Lock, who will benefit from a year on the bench behind the newly acquired Joe Flacco. After Murray and Haskins, there's a drop-off in QB talent in this draft, but that won't stop a QB-desperate team from spending an early pick on a developmental player with great physical tools like Lock. [April 3]


Will Brinson, CBSSports.com: QB Drew Lock, Missouri


I get that John Elway's professed his love for Joe Flacco and says the aging veteran is just entering his prime. I think Flacco could be pretty good this year. But if Elway has a chance to get an insurance option as well as a future building block and he loves Lock as much as we think he does, he won't pass on him here. [April 3]


Eddie Brown, San Diego Union-Tribune: QB Drew Lock, Missouri


This is John Elway utilizing the “kitchen sink” strategy to find a franchise quarterback. He solved his short-term issues at the position by trading for a veteran (Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco). It was clear he was smitten with Lock in Mobile. The Mizzou signal caller shares some traits with the college version of Patrick Mahomes. Both have elite arm talent, can extend plays with their athleticism and are overaggressive with their decision-making. [April 3]


Nick Klopsis, Newsday: LB Devin Bush, Michigan


The Broncos traded for Joe Flacco, got him some line help in Ja’Wuan James and rebuilt their secondary with Bryce Callahan and Kareem Martin. That leaves linebacker as the biggest remaining hole. Devin Bush — the son of the former Falcons first-rounder of the same name — is only 5-11, but he’s a tough linebacker with great speed and instincts. [April 3]
