Drake London, WR, USC

The Broncos have focused on building the wide receiving corps over the last couple of years but there are still glaring issues when you consider injuries and the fact that both Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick will be unrestricted free agents next year.

Sutton and Patrick are the only healthy receivers currently on the roster that started the season on the roster, aside from kick returner Diontae Spencer.

Jerry Jeudy will be back this season after nursing a high ankle sprain but K.J. Hamler is lost for the year and the idea that he could just end up being a poor draft choice is a legitimate conversation at this point.

The Broncos may not be able to keep both Sutton and Patrick and they could just use another wide receiver. USC’s Drake London fits the bill.

At 6-foot-5, London possesses great size. But he doesn’t just look big, he plays big. He is a willing blocker and with the ball in his hands, can create huge plays as a man who is just not easy to bring down.

He is a good route-runner who understands how to find the soft spot in a defense and get open. London would be an excellent choice for the Broncos but he also has the ability to be the first wide receiver off the board next April.
