The Denver Broncos are reportedly trying to trade up in the 2020 NFL Draft, with John Elway and company seemingly set on a deal with the Cleveland Browns for the No. 10 pick.

With the draft only a week away, there is plenty of speculation as to which teams could trade up or trade down in order to find the best fit for their roster next season.

As for the Broncos, the popular belief is that they're in the market for one of the top wide receivers, which is why trading with the Browns could be a smart move.

And according to Michael Lombardi of The Athletic, the Broncos may already be in pursuit of a deal.

With Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, and Henry Ruggs III all expected to go in the top 15 of the NFL Draft, Denver may have no choice but to trade up to land one of the elite wide receivers.

Of course, another reason a deal could be essential for the Broncos is due to the fact that the New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, and San Francisco 49ers are other teams that are rumored to be pursuing wide receivers, and those three teams all sit ahead of Denver in the draft order.

So, if Elway wants to give Drew Lock another playmaking receiver, exchanging picks with the Browns could be the best route.

If the Broncos were to stay at No. 15 in the draft, they could still pick another receiver like Justin Jefferson or Tee Higgins, with offensive line also being a potential option.

Either way, Denver should be able to address an area of need as they try to make a push for the playoffs next season.
