4. Case Keenum

Denver Broncos fans have bought into this move. After losing out on Kirk Cousins (or did they?), the Broncos turned their attention to Keenum who had a great season with the Minnesota Vikings. He is the definition of an NFL journeyman, entering his seventh year in the league having played on four different teams.

Have the Broncos found a diamond in the rough? While he had a very strong 2016-2017 campaign, I do not believe that he will be able to replicate the same success next season with a less talented offense. While the Denver Broncos may believe in Keenum, I certainly would have opted for drafting a quarterback. However, it appears that perhaps that team has not lost all hope in former first round pick Paxton Lynch.

2016-2017: (15 games)

Pass Comp: 325/481, 67.6%, 3,457 yards, 22 TDs, 7 Ints. 160 rush yards, 1 TD.

Prediction:

Pass Comp: 301/488, 61.6%, 3,512 yards, 20 TDs, 14 Ints, 174 rush yards
