First Round (5th Overall) – CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

Before you ask the question, yes. I am all in on the CeeDee Lamb train to get him to Denver. After the Denver Broncos traded away Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton assumed the role as the number one wide out on the team.

After Sutton, the Broncos do not have much. I still need to see how Tim Patrick does as the season comes to the conclusion. DaeSean Hamilton has been a non-factor this season. Diontae Spencer is used mostly as a special teams player.

In short, Denver needs another playmaker at wide receiver to compliment Courtland Sutton. I believe CeeDee Lamb can be a player that can make an impact on an offense right away. His speed and route running is top notch. He can also be a deep threat for the Broncos.

If the Denver Broncos can get Lamb in the draft, imagine an offense with him, Sutton, Noah Fant, and Phillip Lindsay. I’m starstruck thinking about it.
