The Denver Broncos did a solid job of addressing their needs on both sides of the ball through the 2018 NFL Draft. Aside from taking former NC State defensive end Bradley Chubb with the fifth overall pick, they also managed to add some depth to the receiving group with the selection of SMU's Courtland Sutton and Penn State's DaeSean Hamilton.
It is an interesting move considering Denver already boasts one of the most promising duos in the league. That said, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is not worried about having his spot taken any time soon, according to Arnie Stapleton of the Associated Press:

Despite entering his ninth season, there is no question Sanders still has plenty left in the tank. He had enjoyed three consecutive 1,000 campaigns since his arrival prior to the 2014 NFL season. Although his numbers may have taken a tremendous dip last season, his struggles can be chalked up to lackluster quarterback play.
Fortunately, those troubles seem to be gone now with the arrival of quarterback Case Keenum. No one is more optimistic about Keenum's arrival than Sanders and for good reason. That said, the two-time Pro Bowler is hoping he and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas can restore their status as the best 1-2 punch in the league.
