The Denver Broncos had a disappointing season in 2018. They went 6-10 and finished third in the AFC West division. Their defense was solid, with Von Miller they allowed only 21.8 points per game, which ranked 13th overall in the entire league. However, their offense wasn't quite as good.
Case Keenum isn't a quality starting quarterback. He threw for 3,980 yards with 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions on the season. His completion percentage was 62.3 percent and his quarterback rating sat at a mediocre 47.9. He's mostly a game manager, even with weapons like Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas, who was traded to the Houston Texans midway through the season.
Thankfully, the Broncos made a big trade to acquire Joe Flacco from the Baltimore Ravens. He will take over as the starting quarterback in Denver and the franchise could look to trade Keenum.
However, they could still be looking to add a rookie quarterback in the draft. Either Kyler Murray of Oklahoma, Dwayne Haskins of Ohio State, Drew Lock of Missouri, and Daniel Jones of Duke are all players expected to go in the first round of the draft.
The Broncos desperately need a spark offensively. Sanders is only getting older. They don't really have a threat at tight end. Adding someone like Brown would give them an elite core of wide receivers, something they haven't had since Peyton Manning had Eric Decker and Julius Thomas as well.
Antonio Brown, during the 2018 season with the Steelers, ended up catching 104 passes for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. For his career, Brown has had six straight seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards and 100 receptions. He’s still effective even at age 30, and will likely still be going into his mid-30s.
Brown would bring in one of the best stretches by a wideout in the history of the NFL. He has proven that he will get his 1,000 yards and 100 receptions. His dependability, regardless of his ego, would provide the Broncos with much-needed talent on the offensive side of the ball.
The Broncos have the defensive talent to be a playoff team. With Flacco now on board, the Broncos need to find another weapon or two for him to utilize. Brown would be an ideal fit.
