6. Juwann Winfree

The Broncos received a bit of criticism for drafting Winfree in the sixth round when most felt he would go undrafted. But the Broncos’ last pick in the draft was their sixth-rounder and they really seemed to covet Winfree.

They then proceeded to hardly use him in the regular season.

Winfree had a solid preseason, catching seven passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. That touchdown proved to be the game-winner against the Atlanta Falcons in the Hall of Fame Game.

In the regular season, you might have forgotten that he was even on the team. He suited up for just three regular-season contests and did not record an official statistic.

The Broncos need someone (of multiple guys) to step up at the wide receiver position in 2020. Perhaps Winfree can have a big second season?

Grade: D

7. Malik Reed

2019 stats

Tackles: 27

Sacks: 2

Tackles for losses: 5.5

Fumble recoveries: 1

Undrafted out of Nevada, Reed was fantastic in training camp and preseason games, earning a spot on the team’s 53-man roster. He was then pressed into further action when Bradley Chubb went down with a season-ending injury.

Reed ended up seeing action on 44.1 percent of the team’s defensive snaps, a high number for an undrafted player. He also appeared in 15 of the team’s 16 games.

Yes, he was needed more due to an injury to one of the team’s defensive stars, but he clearly earned the trust of the coaching staff early on.

It will be exciting to see what this young player does for an encore.

Grade: B+
