6 years agoBovada recently released their odds for Defensive Rookie of the Year. At 4/1 odds, Denver Broncos rookie defensive end Bradley Chubb is the clear favorite to take the title. Most expect a big year from the former North Carolina State standout and lining up alongside the likes of Von Miller and Brandon Marshall definitely don't hurt his chances. Denver finished 2017 with the third fewest yards allowed (4,640), and while the loss of cornerback Aqib Talib clearly hurts the secondary unit (which allowed 29 passing TDs a season ago - fifth most) on paper, Denver still boasts one of the better secondaries in the league, while the addition of Chubb should help improve their pedestrian sack total (33). At their current ADP of 164, the Broncos are the eighth defense taken off the board on average, but the potential to finish in the top five isn't that hard to justify.--Leonard Francis II
