Elite speed at wide receiver and its effect on draft spot

The Broncos did not throw deep very often (or very well) in 2019. This was partly due to having only one viable deep threat on the team, Courtland Sutton, after we traded away Emmanuel Sanders. Of the five most frequent deep passing teams in 2019 (125 or more deep attempts), only Green Bay had a lone viable deep target, Davanta Adams. The other four teams: Tampa Bay, Detroit, LAC and Kansas City, all had at least two deep threats. The Broncos threw deep only 77 times in 2019. I discussed this at length here. One way to ensure more deep pass attempts in 2020 is to get another deep threat to pair with Sutton.
