Five players the Denver Broncos are hoping and praying fall to them at pick 31

LB Reggie Ragland

PROJECTED ROUND: 1st     HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-1/247 LBS

CAREER NUMBERS: 220 total tackles; 17.5 tackles for a loss; 4.0 sacks; 1 interceptions; 10 passes defensed; 4 forced fumbles

Honestly, until a few days ago, I hadn’t even thought of Reggie Ragland as an option; I figured he’d be long, long gone. But in the last few days, I’ve seen some mock drafts with Ragland slipping into the late 20s, and Fox Sports even had him falling into the second round.

Safe to say, that’s great news for the Denver Broncos.

Ragland is unanimously viewed as the top inside linebacker in the draft, and while other, more-athletic, prospects may look more like the man they’d be replacing, Danny Trevathan, Ragland’s pure talent is too much to pass up.

If he somehow falls to pick 31, there are very few players the Broncos could possibly consider over him, and they’re all on this list. Not only would he be the best player on the board, but he would fill a position of need perfectly.
