How good are Patrick, Heuerman, Butt and Hamilton's chances of making the roster? – Caleb S.

Let's start with the wide receivers, Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton. In short, I think they both have a decent chance to make the roster. Most teams carry six wide receivers, and it's a lock that Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler will make the team. Fangio spoke glowingly about Diontae Spencer after the draft, so I think it's also likely that he makes it as the team's return specialist. That leaves Patrick, Hamilton, seventh-round pick Tyrie Cleveland and 2019 sixth-round pick Juwann Winfree battling to make the roster. I'd expect Patrick to be the fourth receiving option, as he has shown flashes over the last two years and also is a big, physical receiver. The Broncos don't have that outside of Sutton. Hamilton may have a steeper climb. Though he came on a bit in the last two games with Drew Lock, he projects as a slot player who is a good route-runner. Jeudy and Hamler fit that bill, as well, which could make Hamilton the odd man out. This depends, I think, on what the Broncos see from Cleveland. If he makes waves during training camp, he could snag that last spot. As it stands today, though, I'd guess Cleveland starts on the practice squad and Hamilton hangs on to a roster spot.

At tight end, I think Jeff Heuerman and Jake Butt have tougher paths to the roster. Noah Fant, Nick Vannett and Albert Okwuegbunam are all locks — and sometimes teams only carry three tight ends. If the Broncos carry four, I'd expect Andrew Beck to get the first look. He was a pleasant surprise last year in place of Andy Janovich, and I expect there's a spot for him even though the Broncos aren't expected to use a fullback. Heuerman faces a challenge because he and Vannett are near-identical players. Butt, meanwhile, still hasn't been able to stay healthy and now has two other dangerous receiving threats against whom he has to compete. I think it'd be a bit of an upset for either player to make the 53-man roster.

Why did we not draft a tackle? Did we not see it as a need or did we not like ones that were available? Also, what do we do if Muti is healthy and as good as I have read/seen? Who is the odd man out in the interior? Is there a chance Risner pushes out to tackle? – David H.

David, sometimes the board just doesn't fall that way. First, let's acknowledge that there were probably just a few plug-and-play left tackles in this draft. Andrew Thomas and Mekhi Becton are two of them, and both players went ahead of Denver's 15th-overall selection. Tristan Wirfs and Jedrick Wills Jr. are also in that conversation, but both players mainly worked at right tackle, so that would've been a bit of a risk. And those players were also gone.

Houston's Josh Jones was available during the second round, but the Broncos preferred KJ Hamler in that situation. Keep in mind, the Broncos also didn't entertain giving up a third-round and fifth-round pick for a one-year Trent Williams rental. So maybe the Broncos don't view tackle to be as big of a need as Broncos fans do. While Bolles has been far from perfect, he's never missed a game and allowed just one sack in five games with Lock as the quarterback. He had just one holding penalty during that time frame. I don't expect the Broncos to pick up Bolles' fifth-year option, but I do think it's likely that he'll win the competition at left tackle over Elijah Wilkinson. Let's see what happens in Year 2 under Mike Munchak before we show Bolles the door.
