Top prospects won’t “attend” the NFL draft this year because the event will be held in a virtual format due to COVID-19. That doesn’t mean prospects won’t be able to participate at all, though.
The league announced last week that 58 prospects will participate in the draft — cameras will be set up in their homes for live look-ins and interviews.
Of note to Broncos fans, some of the top wide receiver, cornerback and offensive line prospects are among the prospects participating this year.
- WR: Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Henry Ruggs III, Brandon Aiyuk, Chase Claypool, Tee Higgins, Justin Jefferson, Denzel Mims, Jalen Reagor, Laviska Shenault
- CB: Jeff Okudah, C.J. Henderson, AJ Terrell, Kristian Fulton, Trevon Diggs, Jaylon Johnson
- OL: Tristan Wirfs, Andrew Thomas, Mekhi Becton, Jedrick Wills, Ezra Cleveland, Lloyd Cushenberry, Josh Jones, Austin Jackson, Cesar Ruiz, Prince Tega Wanogho
Most draft pundits seem to agree that wide receiver, cornerback and offensive line are Denver’s three biggest positions of need in this year’s draft. With that being the case, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Broncos select several players listed above who will be participating in the draft from their homes.
