8 players Broncos should consider trading up for in 2nd round of NFL draft

After not holding a first-round pick on Day 1 of the NFL draft, the Denver Broncos are scheduled to make their first selection on Day 2, but it won’t be until the bottom of the second round, No. 64 overall.

If a prospect the team loves falls into the middle of the second round, Broncos general manager George Paton might consider moving up. Here are eight players the team should consider trading up for on Day 2, plus nine other prospects who might be available at No. 64.
