Spoiler alert: Denver wants to snag some competition for newly-acquired center Gino Gradkowski.

It could come in the form for Florida State's top blocking prospect, Cameron Erving. Per reports, Denver will take the Seminoles tackle-turned center at No. 28 if he's still on the board.

In their full first-round mock, the Denver Post said this about Erving's likely selection:

"Expectation remains that Broncos will try to move up for a tackle. If not, Erving provides versatility and fits zone-blocking scheme well, making it worth passing on Oklahoma defensive tackle Jordan Phillips.”

Then, Mike Klis of 9News in Denver followed up that report with a prediction of his own:

“The Broncos, who don’t pick until the No. 28 overall selection, will likely come away with an offensive tackle, unless in the unlikely event Florida State center Cameron Erving is still available.”

These reports back up what others have inferred about the 2015 Broncos. If Gary Kubiak is instilling a zone-blocking scheme with more balance, grabbing Erving would be a fine start.
