Drew Lock has to be excited. The Denver Broncos drafted Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy, widely-considered the top receiver in this draft class.

Denver's offense just couldn't get it going last year and their No. 2 WR spot left a lot to be desired. Their top WR, Courtland Sutton, could eventually face a challenge from Jeudy to be the top dog among this WR corps and in this offense. Lock's big arm should fit nicely with the former Crimson Tide wideout as Jeudy can run the route tree, go deep and even perform admirably as a blocker out-wide.

With Melvin Gordon added via free agency, Sutton's continued development, last year's first-round pick TE Noah Fant, and the addition of Jeudy give this offense a brand new look for the upcoming 2020 season.

Here’s why Shawn Childs ranked Jeudy as his No. 2 wide receiver:

Jeudy worked more as a traditional receiver in 2019, where he relied on his route running to get open. Many of his catches were in the flat or coming back to the quarterback, which led to less explosiveness after the catch. When able to secure passes going forward, his speed and acceleration become more disruptive. Jeudy doesn’t have the same explosiveness when caught flat-footed with the ball trying to make defenders miss. His release projects well while having the speed (4.45 forty yard dash) to test a defender deep. Jeudy needs to add some bulk (6-foot-1 and 195 pounds) to help combat physical corners. He also grades lower than expected with his short-area quickness.
