45. . Wide Receiver. Arizona State. N'Keal Harry. 12. player

The Denver Broncos took a major step backwards this past weekend, as they took on the Cleveland Browns in front of the home fans on Saturday night. Going up against rookie Baker Mayfield, the Broncos were a fairly big favorite to win the game, but could muster nothing on offense, and fell to the Browns by the score of 17-16.

After the game, the Twitter world was clamoring for the team to get rid of Vance Joseph, who went for a field goal instead of trying to win the game in the fourth quarter. He has been a mess since taking over as head coach, and while he could be a great head coach in the future, they may want to move on from him after another season out of the playoffs.

When it comes time to bolster this roster in the 2019 NFL Draft, Denver may want to go out and get the best wide receiver available at No. 12. They traded away star Demaryius Thomas during the trade deadline to the Houston Texans, and with Emmanuel Sanders going down for the year due to injury, the wide receiver group has been depleted.

Harry is a guy who will be a top wideout in this league for years to come, and could come in and really be a target for Case Keenum, or whoever the quarterback is in Denver over the next couple of seasons. Undrafted free agent Tim Patrick from Utah has looked good for Denver in spurts, but they need a long-term answer at the top of the depth chart, and Harry is certainly talented enough to be just that.
