. . DENVER BRONCOS. A.

  • With the 15th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Jerry Jeudy – Wide Receiver, Alabama

You can almost copy and paste what I wrote above about the Raiders and Henry Ruggs III and put it here for Denver drafting Jerry Jeudy, also from Alabama. Drew Lock and Noah Fant showed potential last season, and wideout Cortland Sutton had a breakout season, but adding an extra receiver opposite Sutton can only improve an always improving Broncos offense.

Jeudy should start immediately and with the proper coaching and a skilled quarterback in Drew Lock throwing him the ball, Jeudy will make an immediate impact and could wreck havoc on apposing defenses.

The Broncos were lucky to see Jeudy fall to them at pick 15 and he’ll be an immediate contributor in the Broncos offense. This is an important year for Denver, as they’ve struggled to find a reliable quarterback since Peyton Manning retired.

If Lock is the guy, the Broncos could have a really, really good offense in 2020 and beyond and Jerry Jeudy is only going to make them stronger.

For the pick of Jerry Jeudy at wide receiver, I give the Broncos an A.
