While the Broncos have already drafted two players (Christian McCaffrey, Damontae Kazee) that have punt return experience, but Switzer might be the best punt returner in the entire draft. he returned five for touchdowns as a freshman at UNC, and developed extremely well as a slot receiver over the last few seasons.

After an impressive week at the Senior Bowl, Switzer may not last this long into the draft. If he does, the Broncos need to snatch him up. While McCaffrey is certainly capable of making an impact as a receiver out of the slot, the options with Switzer on the inside, McCaffrey in the backfield, and guys like Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, and possibly Evan Engram would allow Switzer to utilize his short area quickness to win on-on-one matchups.

This is another dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands. The Broncos would be wise to surround whatever quarterback they have throwing passes with the bet talent possible.
