When Brandon Marshall left Denver for Miami before the 2010 season, some heads and jaws dropped as we wondered who would fill the big shoes that Marshall left behind.

Brandon Lloyd stepped up and led not only the team, but the entire NFL in receiving yards that season. Initially when Lloyd packed his bags for St. Louis in October, people had their reservations about letting him go. Yes, Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker were next in line and the team could pepper in Eddie Royal, but was it enough?

While the Broncos receivers came up with some big catches at times, the number of drops significantly rose. Was it their inability to gel with their new quarterback? Were they caught off guard when a ball was thrown in their direction rather than keeping it on the ground? Was an overall lack of experience the issue? These were all questions that popped into our heads when a ball was dropped.

Royal is a free agent this year, but he said that would like to remain in Denver. Thomas and Decker have another year of experience under their belt and a full offseason to work with the coaching staff as opposed to the locked out offseason last year.

Do the Broncos need to bring in an experienced veteran wide receiver though?

Let’s take a look at some options.

With the 2010 season behind us, and the NFL draft quickly approaching, there are a myriad of positions the Broncos can address.  Most of those fall on the defensive side of the ball.  One position that is not in need of an upgrade is wide receiver.

At the beginning of the 2010 season, the Broncos viewed their wide receiver corps as one of the deepest positions on the team.  This was in spite of the fact that Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall was traded to the Miami Dolphins.  Following the 2010 season, we can confirm that assertion was correct.

]]> The Broncos certainly aren’t lacking in the wide receiver department. In fact, some believe that Brandon Stokley won’t even make the team this year. We’ve got Jabar Gaffney, Eddie Royal, Brandon Lloyd, Matthew Willis, Kenny McKinley, and first round draft pick, Demaryius Thomas. One wideout who might be overlooked is rookie Eric Decker out of Minnesota. Decker didn’t participate much in OTA’s due to a foot injury, but it seems he has finally recovered enough to start working. He took part in Larry Fitzgerald’s camp this week. Because Decker has finally returned to the field, his highlight tape makes our clip of the week.
