Despite already having Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton on the roster, the Denver Broncos signed wide receiver Marquez Callaway during free agency.
After that, the Broncos traded into the second round of the NFL draft last week to select Oklahoma speedster Marvin Mims, making Denver’s wide receiver room even more crowded.
In addition to Jeudy, Patrick, Sutton, Callaway and Mims, the Broncos’ wide receiver depth chart also includes KJ Hamler, Kendall Hinton, Jalen Virgil, Brandon Johnson, Montrell Washington and Lil’Jordan Humphrey.
So what gives? Why did Denver make it a priority to trade up for a receiver during the draft when the team already has a crowded WR room? Today, we’ll try to make sense of the situation.
