3. WR DaeSean Hamilton

The Denver Broncos have quite the wideout in Cortland Sutton. The 6’4”, 216-pound performer from SMU showed flashes as a rookie in 2018 after being selected in the second round by the club. That year, he played in all 16 games, made nine starts and hauled in 42 passes for 704 yards and four touchdowns. In ’19, he really blossomed into a steady playmaker as he earned his first Pro Bowl invitation. Sutton caught 72 passes for 1,112 yards and made a half-dozen visits to the end zone – leading the Broncos in all three of those categories.

Wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton has teased his club with abilities. But the production simply hasn’t been there in either of his first two seasons. With veteran Emmanuel Sanders dealt to the San Francisco 49ers last year during the season, it was an opportunity for the former Penn State Nittany Lion to distinguish himself during the second half of the 2019 season. And it’s worth noting that 17 of his 28 receptions and his only touchdown of the year came in the team’s final five games with quarterback Drew Lock at the controls. So is the 2018 fourth-round selection primed for a career campaign this year?
