11. Denver Broncos
The Broncos addressed their defensive line by drafting ends Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder, as well as tackle Marcus Thomas. Veterans Kenard Lang and Ebenezer Ekuban combined for 13 sacks in 2006 and pass-rush specialist Elvis Dumervil had an outstanding rookie year (8½ sacks). Defensive tackles Alvin McKinley and Gerard Warren are solid run-stoppers with Warren drawing many doubles teams as he possesses great power to push the pocket. Denver's defense had a tough time holding down the Chiefs' Larry Johnson and the Rams' Steven Jackson, but for the most part it was solid stopping the run and pressured the quarterback with a mixture of stunts and twists.
