4. Jake Butt, Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are hopeful that Jake Butt will showcase his abilities at training camp and take over the number one spot on the depth chart. Butt was injured for the entirety of last season, which the Broncos knew would be the case when they drafted him. This season, however, the Broncos are confident that he will be the player that he was in college as a star at the University of Michigan. Butt is a dependable pass catcher and will fight for tough yards. However, I can’t possibly place Jake Butt over the other competition in the AFC West, despite his upside.

2016-2017:

N/A (Injury)

Prediction:

41 receptions, 497 yards, 2 Touchdowns
