Chad Thomas, our 113rd ranked defensive end, is best suited to
be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the Denver Broncos because they
could use a player of this quality after losing Zach Allen and John Franklin Myers for an extended period of time. The Broncos
currently have 3 healthy defensive ends, and 1 is
rated better than Thomas: (Jordan Jackson).
The Broncos currently have no
defensive ends under contract beyond the 2027 season,
so Thomas might get longer than a one year deal with the team.
