    Default WR Competition

    The DP had a good reminder about the WR depth and competition this year... Should be a position of strength based on the depth chart - I think Bennie Fowler and Jordan Taylor have both flashed some elite ability. Then we've got the 2 rookies and perennial underachiever Cody Latimer. You could argue that four guys all have a crack at the #3 WR spot - though I think McKenzie will be used more as a specialist/slot specialist, whereas Fowler and Taylor can be used inside or outside.

    What are your WR depth chart predictions? I'm thinking Fowler breaks out this year and kind of ignoring the slot receiver position for the sake of discussion:

    1.) DT
    2.) ES
    3.) Fowler
    4.) Taylor
    5.) Latimer
    6.) McKenzie
    7.) Henderson


    For a year and a half now, the Broncos have boasted a lengthy list of receivers but no clear third receiver, no reliable pass catcher behind their Pro Bowl duo. With a new coaching staff and a new offense, the emphasis this offseason has turned to find speed and power and versatility across the board on offense.

    Enter rookies Carlos Henderson and Isaiah McKenzie, drafted in the third and fifth rounds, respectively, who boast quickness and smarts but also are raw.

    IMO, Henderson will be in the #3-4 spot by week 12 or so.

    I'd be surprised if Fowler makes the 53.

    He was our best #3 WR in 2015 and then got hurt last year... I think he's got his work cut out for him but I'm rooting for him. He and AJ Derby have won me over making tough catches in traffic the last couple years. Latimer was good on special teams last year though, so it might come down to which guy can be more versatile.

    Isn't he the WR from Louisiana Tech? If he's the same guy I'm thinking of, he's a strong athletic guy with excellent speed. 5'11" 200 4.4 speed.

    He's a guy who's limited in the route tree right now, but he can be a gadget guy who can play tailback and WR. My guess is we'll find a way to get him several touches a game, not just because he's fast, but because he's a playmaker who can break tackles and make guys miss.

    My guess is 4 spots are already locked up:

    1.) DT
    2.) ES
    3.) Henderson
    4.) McKenzie

    That leaves 1, maybe 2 spots:

    5.) Latimer (makes the team because of improved play and draft status).
    6.) Taylor

    My guess is Fowler is the odd man out and is a prime candidate for a trade.

    7.) Fowler

    Good list Trav but I don't think they will go into the season with two Rooks as the #3-#4 guys.

    In 2016, our playoff hopes slipped through Folwer's fingers.

    **** that guy.

    Dt
    Es
    Henderson
    Latimer
    McKenzie (if we keep 6, then fowler 5, McKenzie 6)

    It's pretty much already set this way now.

    Henderson is starting slot day 1. Make no mistake
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
