The Broncos’ offense has a need for speed.

Justin Jefferson happens to combine speed with excellent playmaking ability at the receiver position.

He needs more refinement in his ability to win in his route stem, but Jefferson has the ability to be a dynamic playmaker after the catch in the NFL and the Broncos certainly need more guys like that.

As we continue to put together mock draft exercises, don’t be surprised to see wide receiver climb higher and higher on the list.

This year’s class is loaded with guys at or near the top who can make big plays with speed, and Jefferson is one of many.

With Emmanuel Sanders likely gone, the Broncos will have to see what kind of playmakers they can add to surround Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant.
