Third round (first pick)

When all is said and done, the stellar athlete Brandon Aiyuk might just play himself into the top 50 discussion.

As of right now, he’s floating around the mid-day two discussion, but his athleticism and constant improvement could change that quickly.

One of the best in all of college football at creating yardage after the catch, Aiyuk would give the Broncos another playmaker to add to an offense that already has some talented young guys out there getting the job done (Courtland Sutton, Phillip Lindsay, Noah Fant).

What’s been unfortunate for the Broncos this year is the lack of emergence from DaeSean Hamilton, who still has time to vault himself up into that WR2 spot for next season.

At the very least, the Broncos would like to see Hamilton be a target eater from the slot, but the way the roster is presently constructed and the way the offense is running, Hamilton’s not getting enough chances to show what he can do.

Aiyuk is a play-creator and a magician with the ball in his hands. He would add some much needed speed to this Denver offense.
