Projecting Broncos’ WR depth chart before the NFL draft

Here’s a look at the Broncos’ projected wide receiver depth chart going into the NFL draft.

With the 2020 NFL draft now less than a week away, here’s a quick look at the Denver Broncos’ projected wide receiver depth chart as it stands now:

WR1 Slot WR2
Courtland Sutton DaeSean Hamilton Tim Patrick
Juwann Winfree Trinity Benson Diontae Spencer
Fred Brown Kelvin McKnight

Clearly, wide receiver is a big position of need for Denver this offseason. Sutton made the Pro Bowl as an alternate last year and Patrick could be a solid WR3 but the Broncos desperately need a No. 2 receiver.

Many mock drafts have Denver selecting a receiver with the 15th overall pick in the draft — that wouldn’t be surprising. In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Broncos select multiple receivers next week.

Denver will want to give young quarterback Drew Lock plenty of weapons to complement Sutton, Noah Fant, Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay. The Broncos will have 10 picks to use in the draft (April 23-25).
