Finding Broncos: 5 Offensive Weapons to Improve Depth
It has been abundantly clear through free agency that the Denver Broncos want to improve their weapons on offense. The Broncos were in on multiple receivers and have been popular in trade rumors. As for the tight end position, Denver added a capable blocking tight end as a free agent.
Even with the addition of Chris Manhertz, the Broncos can still use some help in the form of a well-rounded skill set they lack. This is a strong tight-end class where they could find that help.
However, when it comes to wide receivers, the class isn't as strong, and the Broncos are said to be looking for a specific type of receiver. There are plenty of options in the draft to fill that need.
Jason Brownlee | WR | Southern Mississippi
Kyle Patterson | TE | Air Force
Michael Jefferson | WR | Louisiana
Noah Gindorff | TE | North Dakota State
Jacob Copeland | WR | Maryland
With the few draft picks they have, the Broncos are likely going to be looking at a decent-sized group of undrafted free agents. Denver currently has 73 players under contract, leaving room for 17 additions and a few extra to churn the bottom of the depth chart. So there is plenty of room to work with when it comes to adding to the roster.
