Fred Brown

The only other wide receiver who registered a reception during the season was Brown, who appeared in 13 games for the team. He caught two passes for 21 yards on the season.

Brown will have to fight his way onto the 53-man roster next season as the Broncos will likely look to upgrade the wide receiver position in a big way.

Grade: C

Overall grade

Sutton was tremendous for the Broncos in 2019, but the trade of Sanders shut down any chance the team had to be a threat throwing the ball.

In 2020, some combination of Hamilton, Patrick and Brown (or a player the team finds through free agency and/or the draft) must step up to make the passing game more dynamic.

In 2019, Broncos wide receivers had a grand total of 154 receptions, and that includes the 30 catches posted by Sanders. That’s not great, especially when you consider that Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints caught almost that many by himself.

If you’re clamoring for the team to address the wide receiver position in the draft, try to be a little louder. Maybe those in charge will hear you and recognize how weak this group is.

Overall Grade: C
