1st Round: The fact that Denver didn’t have to give up additional draft capital and trade up to land Jeudy is astounding. The former ‘Bama wide receiver had a consensus rank of No. 8 and ranked fifth on PFF’s big board. He’s a special separator in this class with great YAC ability. “Jeudy is the best route-runner I’ve seen in college football in a while - at least since Amari Cooper,” said PFF’s lead talent analyst. He’ll be the prefect compliment for Courtland Sutton, who had a breakout season last year when he accounted for 33% of the Broncos’ receiving yards.

Balance Of the Draft: Speed kills, and Hamler has a ton of it. He is exactly where the NFL is headed at the receiver position. Separation is king, and it's damn near impossible to stick with Hamler. He's more deployable weapon than true receiver, but there's room for that in modern offenses. He ranked 11th among receivers and 41st overall on PFF’s Big Board. A dynamic addition to an offense that is trending upward ... Ojemudia will likely get pigeonholed into being a zone corner because he's done little else, but he has some tools to work with in press, as well. We've just yet to see any sort of lockdown ability. He earned a career-high 83.4 overall grade in 2019 but still ranked just 176th on PFF’s big board and 136th on the 2020 NFL Consensus Board ... You can see the natural power Cushenberry generates in the run game, but the lack of agility can be scary. His grade fell from 77.1 in 2018 to 61.1 in 2019. He ranked just 118th on PFF’s big board. That grade drop from 2018 to 2019 is head-scratching ... Meanwhile, Agim flashed pass-rushing potential in bursts at Arkansas but was never given a ton of opportunities to pin his ears back and rush the passer because the team was down so often during his Razorbacks tenure. His grade improved every year of his career ... Anyone that has been following PFF throughout this pre-draft process knows Muti is a stud. The oft-injured Fresno State product has all the tools to be an elite guard in the NFL. We'd be talking about him in much higher esteem had he not had his last two seasons cut short with injury. He ranked first among all interior offensive linemen and 39th overall on PFF’s big board ... Okuwuegbunam surprised everyone with his 40-yard dash time at the Combine, but his tape at Missouri was underwhelming, to say the least. He isn't quite dynamic enough to slot in as a starter immediately and has struggled so much as a run blocker that he's not a great fit as a TE2. That's not a great combo.
