4. Reuben Randle
Reuben Randle is that guy that pops off the screen three to four times a year, making you say, “Why isn’t he great?” He’s that guy that builds up expectations and builds up expectations and then … he’s just okay.
But that’s not doing Randle justice. Maybe he’s not the sum of all his talents, but he’s a good receiver, if not very good. All you have to do is look at his last two seasons to understand how valuable he’s been to the Giants’ offense, even when he’s been overshadowed by Odell Beckham Jr.
2014: 71 receptions; 938 yards; 3 touchdowns
2015: 57 receptions; 797 yards; 8 touchdowns
That’s pretty good for a No. 2 option. And here’s the important thing to remember about Rueben Randle: He’s 24!
I know he’s been in the league for four years, and I know he seems to pretty much be who he is at this point, but there’s still plenty of time to mold this guy’s natural ability into something impactful, which it’s already been.
Again, though, the Broncos would be facing the same dilemma they’d face with Kearse: Is a third outside receiver really worth whatever he’s going to go for? At 6-foot-4, I have a hard time believing Randle’s going to be lining up in the slot any time soon, and that’s really not a role Sanders or DT play in, either.
That said, if the Broncos want to get creative, it may be worth a shot.
