The Denver Broncos had a lot of holes to fill coming into the 2008 NFL Draft.

I liked the pick of offensive tackle Ryan Clady, an athletic lineman who will fit in perfectly with head coach Mike Shannahan’s offensive schemes.

Wide receiver Eddie Royal was another need in the second round with the loss of Javon Walker and the injury to star Brandon Marshall.

My biggest concern is the Broncos failed to land a single defensive player until the fourth round, and they selected a cornerback, which is their strongest position.

They needed help along the defensive line and didn’t get it.
