2015 NFL Mock Draft: Amari Cooper is a Jet

45. <p>Quarterback Peyton Manning will indeed be back in 2015 and will need some new weapons to throw to. With Julius Thomas leaving via free agency, Manning will need more play-makers to continue his Hall of Fame career. This is why the Denver Broncos will select wide receiver Devin Smith to provide immediate results.</p> <p>At 6’0″ and 196 lbs., his speed is incredible as in a blink of an eye you can see him haul in a catch and run for daylight. He can play either in the slot or as an outside receiving option and has the right instincts to know what to do in any given moment to succeed.</p> <p>One area of concern which I’m sure the Broncos will correct is his habit of dropping easy passes. From what I saw in his college career with Ohio State, he tends to run before actually securing the football which results in dropping some of the easiest passes you’ll see.</p> <p>Would be interesting to see if the Broncos also use his speed as a return specialist to see if he can add even more points to the scoreboard without Manning even stepping foot onto the field. Perhaps he can be another utility kind of athlete that can fill multiple uses on the team which will bode well with the Broncos.</p>. Wide Receiver. Ohio State. Devin Smith. 28. player
