A number of NFL teams are considering dropping down in the first round of Thursday's draft, but one team eyeing a move up the board is the Denver Broncos, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Broncos own the 20th overall pick.

On the heels of a 9-7 season, and just a year removed from a Super Bowl triumph, Denver could be targeting one player in particular to make a difference in a potential return to the playoffs in 2017.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that the Atlanta Falcons - owners of the No. 31 pick - would also like to move up on Thursday night and lists the Buffalo Bills - at pick No. 10 - as a team looking to move down.
