First Round

CeeDeeLamb. player. . Wide Receiver. 15. 45. Scouting Report. Oklahoma

As the first round was going on, I started getting a bit concerned. However, the New York Jets made a surprising move by taking an offensive tackle in the first round. That secured at least one of the three projected wide receivers to be taken first. With Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy taken ahead of the Broncos, there was no doubt who the Broncos should take with the 15th overall pick.

CeeDee Lamb was a superstar for the Oklahoma Sooners. He really started to showcase his skills in his final two seasons with Heisman winning quarterback Kyler Murray and Heisman runner up Jalen Hurts as his quarterbacks.

Lamb is a deep ball threat who can separate from the cornerback and get open. He is also one of the more solid route runners in this draft. A no-brainier with what was on the board.
