Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado

Projected round: 2nd

Shenault is not being put on this list just for fun. Any team that needs a wide receiver should be looking at him and guess what? The Broncos need a receiver.

Shenault was one of the best players not only at Colorado but in the entire Pac-12 Conference during his time with the Buffs. He has first-round talent but could drop due to some recent concerns.

Shenault underwent core surgery recently but still tried to push through the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, turning in a 4.58-second time in the drill. That is slower than most would have liked to see. He was also unable to work out at Colorado’s Pro Day.

Shenault should still be considered as a first-round pick and though the No. 15 overall choice is probably a bit too soon to take him this year, the Broncos could still try to work a trade up with the multiple picks they possess in this year’s selection process to try and get Shenault or they could hope he falls to them in the second round.

Shenault is a monster on the field and might be the strongest receiver in this class. He runs like a running back with the ball in his hands and the way he can rack up yards after the catch is what will really attract attention from other teams.

The team that gets this guy will be getting one of the best playmakers in the entire draft.
