His playmaking ability is both a positive and a negative. Hackett is a playmaker in coverage, compiling 12 interceptions during his college career-including nabbing seven picks in 2014. He doesn’t arrive at the ball-carrier with a thud, but he is a high-effort tackler who can bring his man down. Hackett quickly understands what an offense is trying to do as the play breaks down in front of him. Like Prewitt, Hackett has good size at 6’2” 195 pounds. Instead, he uses build up speed in and out of his backpedal as a coverage player.Īnother second-round prospect the Broncos could consider is Chris Hackett from TCU. Prewitt does not have the quick-twitch ability to change direction on a dime. His long arms also help him snare ball-carriers in the open field, and he’s a sound tackler on film. Prewitt is a smart player who has good closing burst to the ball. I like his ability to get into proper position consistently as the defense’s center fielder. Prewitt measures in at 6’2” 217 pounds and with his long arms he can be asked to reroute receivers on certain plays.Įven though he’s a larger safety, Prewitt has the anticipation to stand out in coverage. However, the Broncos could find quality talent in the second round.Ĭody Prewitt, from Ole Miss, is the 61st-overall prospect and the top-ranked free safety on. There are zero first-round free safeties in this draft class, according to. The Broncos might look to the draft to fill their need at free safety. Adams won’t come with a price tag the size of McCourty’s, but at 33 years old the Broncos may choose to add a young safety through the draft. The two were teammates with the Cleveland Browns in 20. Adams was a starter at free safety for the Colts, and he responded with a career-high 63 tackles.ĭenver could bring Adams back, and he would be teamed up alongside T.J. The Indianapolis Colts later picked him up, and he put up career-best numbers-plus he was named as a Pro Bowl alternate. The Broncos released Adams after the draft in 2014.
The Broncos used him as a starter and as a reserve player, and during both instances Adams never complained, he worked hard and did a good job. Adams spent two seasons with the Broncos, and he proved that he was a team-first guy. Undrafted out of Delaware in 2004, Adams spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns before he landed with the Broncos in 2012. While adding McCourty has to be considered a longshot, perhaps bringing back Mike Adams would make more sense. According to Jeff Howe, from the Boston Herald, the Patriots could use the franchise tag on McCourty if the two sides can’t come to a new long-term agreement. The dream scenario for the Broncos would be to find a way to sign Devin McCourty away from the New England Patriots. He returned to the field for the Broncos in 2014, but he was later lost for the season with another knee problem. Carter missed most of the next two seasons as he recovered from this injury. His career was set back by a major knee injury that required microfracture surgery. Carter was able to start over Moore during their rookie season. The Broncos added Moore and Carter in the 2011 NFL draft, and both flashed upside early in their pro careers. Quinton Carter is also set to be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year starts. Moore did a good job again in 2014, finishing the season with 50 tackles and a career-high four interceptions.ĭespite Moore’s production, 's Jeff Legwold expects the Broncos to let Moore walk in free agency. He played with better confidence in 2013 but was lost for about half the season with a rare lower leg injury. That play was a low point in his career, but Moore worked hard to fight back from that.
Moore is remembered mostly for missing on the Jacoby Jones touchdown catch in the 2012 playoffs against the Baltimore Ravens. Originally a second-round pick in the 2011 NFL draft, Moore has had his ups-and-downs with the Broncos. The name to highlight here is Rahim Moore. The Broncos have 13 unrestricted free agents to consider this offseason.
