Tony Brown, WR, Colorado

Projected round: 7th-undrafted

Though Shenault got all the headlines in Colorado’s passing game, Brown was no slouch and as a result, is one of those late-round prospects who could sneak onto a roster and be productive in his career.

After beginning his college career at Texas Tech, Brown transferred to Colorado and became a consistent weapon in the team’s passing game, catching 88 passes in two seasons there.

Brown was particularly good during his senior season as he snagged 56 receptions for 707 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games.

At the next level, Brown could help a team out with his crisp route running and strong ability to go up and make the catch on contested balls. He is also a tremendous back-shoulder receiver, a pass that more and more quarterbacks are starting to perfect.

Brown is a true outside receiver that can move the chains with his ability to get open and use great body positioning to make plays. As a late-round option, the Broncos could do a lot worse than Brown if they are still looking to add depth at the wide receiver spot on day three.
