2. Denver Broncos: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama

By Levi Damien of Thoughts From the Dark Side

The Broncos had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last season and the most glaring weakness was along the defensive line. They are shifting out of the 3-4 to the 4-3 and that will require some players to either move positions or move on. The return of Elvis Dumervil at the defensive end spot will help with their lack of a pass rush, but they have no one of any note on the interior. Dareus is considered an extremely safe pick. He is also an ideal 3 technique defensive tackle at the NFL level which is something the Broncos are sorely lacking. Another option here might be to go with Patrick Peterson as the best player on the board.
 
Here's the scouting report on Dareus and following is the analysis of this pick, both courtesy of Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting: 
 
A great fit scheme-wise for the Broncos, Dareus makes a lot of sense as they switch to a more 4-3 type of defense. They have already said they are comfortable with Robert Ayers and Elvis Dumervil at the ends, but they lack an impact rusher on the inside. Patrick Peterson is also an option even though the team resigned Champ Bailey because with Bailey, their secondary still ranked near the bottom of the league. If both are on the board, it'll be a tough choice but a great position for the Broncos on draft day.
