I think it will be one of these three, depending on who of the three is still there at 12, im not saying i would or wouldnt take one of these guys, im just saying i have a feeling one of these guys will be wearing a broncos uni this season.
DT BJ Raji, LB Rey Maualuga , RB Chris Beanie Wells

Yes indeed. Orakpo is a beast. Ive been checkin this dude. Sure would be nice if we can land him.

orakpo, if he's gone try to trade down, if that doesnt work we get
1. cushing-already experienced as a linebacker and defensive end, perfect for a hybrid defense like ours.
2. moreno-i dont think the bad forty will hurt him too much, he is still very quick.
3. raji-big and quick, not sure if he can shed double teams

To answer the question:

Following the BPA strategy for the 12th overall pick:

Offense: Knowshon Moreno. He does not make much sense anymore. Moreno would be a huge upgrade, but we already have signed a bunch of backup RBs to fight for the starting RB job. We'll keep running the ball with more trash for less cash.

Defense: Malcolm Jenkins. Might not be available at 12. Forget about his 40-yard dash. Asomugha ran a 4.45, Asante Samuel ran a 4.5, Jenkins ran a 4.5. Big deal. Jenkins is rated as the top cornerback in this draft, and he is physical enough to play FS. Great value at 12. We need a stout FS and we need better depth at CB. On Draft day, I won't be surprised if a team trades up to secure Malcolm Jenkins.

Leaving the BPA strategy aside:

We might try to upgrade our front seven, drafting a player that should not be picked that high. Maualuga, Cushing, Maybin, Jackson.

[Bronco Timcat]

Those guys are not that much of a reach. Pats took Mayo a lot higher than most thought he would go and that worked out ok.

[SheerCold]

I'd be real angry if we took Jenkins, since he'd be almost useless without a good good pressure, and I hope we don't take Beanie Wells, since i've always thought he was overrated, Moreno is much better.

I honestly hope we take B.J. Raji, Brian Orakpo, Tyson Jackson, or Rey Maulauga.
