Arizona State Sun Devils. N'Keal Harry. 17. player. 45. . WR

The Broncos traded Demaryius Thomas to the Texans for a fourth and seventh rounder in next year’s draft. Emmanuel Sanders is still playing at a potential Pro Bowl level, but he is on the wrong side of 30 the Broncos should invest an early pick in selecting a wideout for the future.

N’Keal Harry has been one of the best wide receivers in the FBS this season, and has been the go-to weapon in a resurgent Sun Devils offense.

Harry will have a chance to surpass his 2017 numbers with a good bowl game. He has caught 73 passes for 1,088 yards and nine scores. Over his career, his per game averages round out to six catches for 82 yards per game.

He can be a consistent playmaker over the middle and can stretch the field with his speed. Denver has missed on a few early round picks under John Elway, but this one could be a homerun.
