Wide receiver (13): Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, K.J. Hamler, Kendall Hinton, Seth Williams, Tyrie Cleveland, Travis Fulgham, Montrell Washington, Trey Quinn, Brandon Johnson, Jalen Virgil, Kaden Davis

On paper, the Broncos have a fantastic wide receiving group. On the field, that has not been the case. Poor play at quarterback is the reason most given, but that will need to be different in 2022.

In the case of Jerry Jeudy, for instance, there can be no more excuses.

Hopefully this is the year that Jeudy breaks out. Hopefully Courtland Sutton is right there with him and the two can put up the kind of numbers that D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett did with Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks.

Behind Sutton and Jeudy, the Broncos have a legitimate No. 3 option in Tim Patrick and as long as K.J. Hamler can be healthy, he can be a great deep threat for the quarterback who probably throws the best deep ball in the NFL.

This is a good group for the Broncos. Fifth-round pick Montrell Washington and the well-traveled Travis Fulgham should be interesting options to watch as well.

Grade: A
