Could the drafting of Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton be less because they remind the Broncos of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders and more because they resemble Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs?**

-- Jeffery Jackson I don't think the decision to draft Sutton and Hamilton has anything to do with either of those pairings, except in terms of Sanders coming off a season in which he missed four games and Thomas powering through the pain of nagging injuries in recent seasons. (Remember, the Broncos used a Day 2 pick on a wide receiver in 2014 when they had Wes Welker, had just signed Sanders and had picked up the fifth-year option on Thomas, so you're always planning for the future, no matter what kind of quality you have at the position.)

Furthermore, there is so much variance in the performance and development of draft picks that you can't pick two players and project how they will work as a tandem.

What they can do together is push each other -- something Sutton mentioned to me during a post-practice interview Tuesday. But all of the rookies are pushing each other, whether they are draft picks or from the undrafted ranks, as is the case for TCU's John Diarse and East Carolina's Jimmy Williams, both of whom the Broncos signed in the days after the 2018 NFL Draft.
