DaeSean Hamilton

After taking Courtland Sutton in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Broncos doubled up on the receiver position and snatched up DaeSean Hamilton in the fourth round.

Hamilton hasn’t gotten much chance to prove himself yet this season as a receiver but in the game where he received his most extensive reps (against the Jets) he showed exactly why people were calling him arguably the best route runner in the 2018 class.

Hamilton works the slot like a veteran receiver, and with Demaryius Thomas now in Houston, we’ll get a chance to see more of what he can do not only as a route runner but with the ball in his hands. Many people forget that while Hamilton is great at creating separation, he’s also a very good player after the catch.

His grade overall should be incomplete right now, but this looks like it will turn out to be a phenomenal pick. I’ll project a bit with this one.

Pick grade: A
