Starters: Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton, Tim Patrick

The Broncos have a future star in Courtland Sutton, but the water gets murky beyond that.

DaeSean Hamilton is a guy that the team is still waiting for to break out and Tim Patrick is a guy that needs to prove his spot on the depth chart is even warranted. Both guys have the capability to be an asset to the offense, but in my opinion, the Broncos have one of the weakest wide receiver rooms in the league.

That is why most feel that wide receiver is the position the Broncos should target in the first round of the draft.

Fortunately, this is one of the deepest drafts at the wide receiver spot in quite some time and the Broncos, who possess 11 picks in the upcoming draft, could elect to take more than one wide receiver.

That might be a bad idea, as the list of names behind the three mentioned above leave much to be desired, though last year’s sixth-round pick, Juwann Winfree, has some potential.

If the Broncos could add a player like CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, Justin Jefferson or even perhaps Laviska Shenault in the first round and then find another guy in the third or fourth round, the wide receiver group would look considerably better.

Because of the depth at wide receiver in this draft, and the belief the Broncos will attack this position, there isn’t a lot to worry about at wide receiver.
