2. Benjamin Watson

With free agency right around the corner, can the Broncos find themselves a tight end?

EXPERIENCE: 12 years     DRAFT: 1st round (32nd overall) out of Illinois

CAREER STATS: 434 receptions; 4,963 yards; 38 touchdowns

BEST/LAST SEASON: 74 receptions; 825 yards; 6 touchdowns (2015)

WHY BRONCOS COULD BE INTERESTED: The only other free agent tight end who can even compare to Benjamin Watson’s receiving abilities is Antonio Gates, but I’d be shocked to see Gates ever play a down in something other than a Chargers uniform. So for all intents and purposes, Watson is the best guy on the market.

Really, the only reason why he isn’t No. 1 on the list is because he’s 35 years old. Even if he is coming off the best season of his career, it’s hard to count on sustained production at that age.

But if Watson was looking to join a championship contender on a one-year deal, the Broncos could be a good option.
