Now that Braverman is not part of the squid, who do you think will be his replacement to compliment Davis and why? Is there anyone you think will emerge as a star?

Davis stands 6-foot-3 and is regarded as one of the top senior wide receivers in the nation. Behind Davis, though, there are no proven players. Michael Henry, a senior and last year’s No. 3 wide receiver, will need to step up.

Hi-lights from Corey's sophomore season. You might want to put the sound on mute. The accompanying music leaves a lot to be desired. Seems like the song writers have a limited vocab.:

My money is on LeVante Bellamy.

He's small, quick, agile, good top end speed. He can catch and run routes. Played WR in high school.

I think he will give teams hell across the middle.

I would be very surprised if he had many plays from that position.He does not have the feet or footwork to play that position. His blazing speed Will be used coming out of the backfield. We will find out more soon when summer camp starts

Henry is a solid possession receiver and Bellamy has Braverman speed in the slot. Don't know if he has Braverman hands or route running skills. Someone will emerge who we're not familiar with, possibly Curtis.

Hard to replace an NFL caliber guy.

Probably nobody will replace him straight up. Looking for a bright side, maybe we will spread the ball around more.

Hopefully we will start to see the tight ends being used a bit more in the passing game as receivers.

Good point! As John says, maybe we'll see the tight ends more involved in the passing game. I can see the Bogan, Franklin, and others more involved as well to take the heat off of Davis.

I wonder if they'll toy with Darius Phillips being a receiver at times.

Braverman's absence could open up the passing offense even more. Of course, I'm always play the optimistic position.

Go Broncos! Sure looking forward to this year.
