15. player. 45. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR. Colorado. Laviska Shenault

The Denver Broncos saw a huge breakout year in 2019 from second-year player Courtland Sutton, but there’s still work to be done in their offensive weapon arsenal.

It was clear based on year one of his time in Denver that offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello likes to disguise with a lot of pre-snap motion and eye dressing, he just needs all of the right guys to do it.

Shenault is a versatile threat with big-time athleticism, speed, and playmaking ability after the catch. He could be the type of offensive weapon the Broncos need to match with Courtland Sutton on the outside and DaeSean Hamilton coming on in the slot.

What better player to run the pre-snap motion stuff than Shenault? The Broncos would certainly be interested in other guys with even better speed, but Shenault’s rare ability to create in space and just fabricate offense in a variety of ways might make him the ideal pairing with Sutton.
