Denver Broncos

Denver has not had an elite defense in some time. They, however, have started to build one of the best offensive teams in the league, minus a quarterback. Farley should end up being a very big target for them in the second round. They need to have speed and ability, considering they face two of the fastest wide receivers in the league twice a year in Tyreek Hill, KC, and Henry Ruggs, LV.

Farley may not be the right fit for the system, but his athletic abilities should get him to adjust.

The Broncos should be one of the few teams to look past his medicals, due to the fact they are not in any position to win. They are still building that team and sit far back in the AFC rankings. So they will have more than enough time to wait for Farley to learn the position, and stay healthy.
He will be thrust into a starting spot, but won’t have many risks attached to him.

This to me is his best landing spot right now, not as far as fit, but for him. He will be given the chance to learn under a great defensive mind. There are multiple good veterans to learn from, and he won’t be expected to be elite from day one. The learning curve should be a little shorter there for him, and he will have a longer leash.

Look for Denver to target him in the second round.
