In his 2020 NFL mock draft 2.0, ESPN’s Todd McShay has the Denver Broncos selecting Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb with the 15th overall pick in the first round (subscription required for link).
This is a change from McShay’s first 2020 mock draft, which had the Broncos selecting LSU safety Grant Delpit. McShay’s first mock draft last year had Denver selecting Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown late in the first round. His final mock draft of 2019 had the Broncos selecting Missouri quarterback Drew Lock.
Lamb (6-2, 189 pounds) caught 173 passes for 3,292 yards and 32 touchdowns during his three years with the Sooners. Teamed up with Courtland Sutton, Lamb would give Lock another explosive target.
McShay also mentioned Delpit, Florida cornerback CJ Henderson, and Alabama safety Xavier McKinney as options for Denver if cornerback Chris Harris and safety Justin Simmons are not re-signed this spring.
Simmons appears likely to return in 2020 (either on a franchise tag or multi-year extension) so it’s hard to imagine the Broncos selecting a safety in the first round. Lamb would be a logical pick for Denver.
