Broncos select OL and pass rusher in 3rd round of NFL mock draft

In his latest three-round 2023 NFL mock draft for Draft Wire, Luke Easterling has the Denver Broncos shoring up the offensive line and adding depth at pass rusher in the third round.

The Broncos do not own first- or second-round draft picks this year, but they do own back-to-back selections in the third round. With their first pick (No. 67 overall from the Indianapolis Colts), Denver selects Wisconsin offensive lineman Joe Tippmann in Easterling’s mock.

Tippmann (6-6, 320 pounds) earned honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition as a redshirt senior. He started at center for the Badgers in 2022, but he also has experience at guard. He could be a versatile interior offensive lineman as a pro.

With their second pick (No. 68 overall), the Broncos select Iowa State edge defender Will McDonald IV. He earned first-team All-Big 12 honors as a redshirt senior last season after totaling 36 tackles and five sacks in 12 games. McDonald (6-3, 236 pounds) recorded 27 sacks in his final three years with the Cyclones.
