One of the top route runners in the draft and some of the best hands in the draft, Darboh is a receiver that could be a huge help for the Broncos.

I think here, you’re looking at a guy that can play inside and outside, and be a huge asset on third downs and in the red zone. Darboh doesn’t have great separation skills and some scouts question whether his 4.45 speed translates to the field, but this is a guy that can get downfield and make plays.

The Broncos don’t lack for ‘guys’ at the wide receiver position, but no one has really stepped up as a primary backup that offers consistency. Darboh is someone they can develop and look to for the future while getting some help from him as a rotational player in 2017.
