AFC Draft Review And Grades
So it finally happened! Even with the NFL shortening the selection clock, every moment of the draft felt like its own eternity. And then the draft ended. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made his first draft announcement 20 years ago. In both 2007 and 2026, Goodell announced the next Raiders quarterback, marking the first number one pick for the Raiders since 2006. Was it luck, scripted drama, or poetic justice?
The formalities surrounding Mendoza going number one to the Raiders didn’t dampen the exhilaration of the moment, but the first “mystery” pick actually went to the Jets. The surprises just kept rolling in! Which team snagged the best surprises? I’ll grade each team's draft based on player evaluations and how well they addressed their roster needs.
AFC East:
Miami Dolphins—
Unlike the Cardinals, the Dolphins Followed The Correct Path Of A Rebuilding/tanking team, trusting that the quarterback would come, so they built the proper infrastructure in preparation for the impending savior, not a running back. The Dolphins Selected Karyn Proctor 12th Overall at Left Tackle Out Of Alabama. Not My Favorite Tackle in this, but a massive hit if he pans out for the Dolphins. The Dolphins' 27th Pick Went On Cornerback Chris Johnson, a Ramsey Cornerback out of San Diego State, a player the big board suggested the Dolphins Reached For In The late First Round. Jacob Rodriquez, Linebacker, Out of Texas Tech, Became the Choice With the Dolphins, Two second-round picks, one of the best linebackers, not named Sonny Styles, In This Draft. The First Of The Dolphins' three third-round picks went on Caleb Douglas, receiver out of Texas Tech, a reach according to most boards, but a big pass catcher with some excellent movement skills, Who Could Flip Expectations In The League. The Second Will Kacmarek, A Blocker Tight End Type Out Of Ohio State, and Chris Bell, a wide receiver out of Louisville, A Hot Name Through This Draft For His Build and possession style receiving ability, but he’s also shifty at 222 lbs. The Dolphins Needed To Rebuild Their Receiving Group and drafted three guys, including a slot type, in round five. The Dolphins Made Thirteen Picks In Total of 13 Picks A Great Deal For A Rebuilding Team and though the board suggests Miami reached for a couple of players, the Dolphins got Good Value At Positions Like Linebacker and guard In Later Rounds.
Grade A
Buffalo Bills—
A Crucial Draft In The Bills' attempt to extend their window of contention, the draft started later than projected after the Bills Traded Out Of The First Round Before Selecting Clemson power rusher TJ Parker In The Second Round. Parker May Never Become An Elite Pass Rusher, but He’s A Good Power Rusher Based Simply On Power and His Pedigree(128 tackles, 41.5 tackles for loss, 21.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, and five pass breakups), Making Him An Excellent Second Round Flyer Prospect. The Bills Continue To Rebuild Their Secondary With Cornerback Davison Igbinosun Out Of Ohio State. The Cornerback Position Has Betrayed The Bills In Recent Drafts, So The Bills Hope They Hit With This Pick. The Bills netted two fourth-round picks through trade, giving them three picks, most notably Skyler Bell, The HyperProductive Receiver Out of UConn, offensive Tackle Jude Bowry, And Linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr Out of TCU. In The Fifth Round, The Bills Netted A Potential Steal In Safety Jalon Kilgore, out of South Carolina, a Top Ten Player At His Position With High Upside Athletic Traits and A Projected Day Two Pick. The Bills closed The Draft with Defensive Tackle Zane Durant in the fifth round, and a trio of seventh-round picks, including guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams, a well-built, rugged guard prospect out of Texas A&M. The Bills Operated With A Deliberate Mindset To This Draft Attacking Positions Of Need Rather Than Reaching For over The Top Talent.
Grade B
New York Jets—
The Jets faced a franchise-altering decision at second overall, and after a brief sense of mystery veiled The Draft proceedings, New York Selected Texas Tech edge Rusher David Bailey To Join Aaron Glenn’s Defense. New York Needed a Pass Rush After Losing Most of Its Pass Rush Via Trade. With their next two first-round picks, the Jets Address The Offense Especially The Receiving Game Adding Uber Tight end Kenyon Sadiq Out Of Oregon, the undisputed top tight end, and Indiana Receiver Omar Cooper Jr., a top-four receiver on most boards. The Picks Of Cooper and Sadiq Give The Jets Depth And Versatility along the pass-catching unit that desperately needed upgrading after Garrett Wilson led the team receiving despite missing most of the year. D’Angelo Ponds, a 5’8 Corner out of Indiana, arrived at the Jets In The Second Round As A Slot Corner and A Special Team Contributor. In the fourth, the Jets choose Darrell Jackson Jr., a defensive tackle out of Florida State, Who Could Push Harrison Phillips Out At Defensive Tackle. In the fourth round, the Jets selected Cade Clubnik, a quarterback out of Clemson, an athlete who had a better junior year than senior season. Ames Cooper At Guard Out of Miami, and VJ Payne, SAFETY Out Of Kansas State. Close Out The Jets Draft. The Jets netted three first-round picks in an Aggressive Attempt To Revamp This Roster, and Projections Indicate That The Organization Hit Big. The Jets have score difference makers in the pass in the first round, who didn’t Make A Difference In The Win Column Long Term—hopefully, the overcast changes in New York.
Grade A
New England Patriots—
The Patriots Took Back The AFC East and the AFC in one season, but after famously playing a light schedule and A Fortuitous Playoff, New England has a long way to go to prove they're a long-term contender. The Offensive Line Needed A Makeover. The Patriots left the draft with two Solid Options At Tackle In Caleb Lomu Out Of Utah In The First Round and Dametrious Crownover, Two Highly Regarded Tackle Prospects. Both possess more than adequate length for tackles, and Their Arrival Could Push Will Campbell Inside—the Patriots Select Illinois Edge Rusher Gabe Jacas In The Second Round. A Very Active and ferocious pass rusher with a power-based attack style, he’ll add to the void at rusher for New England. The Patriots' offense needed tight end help nearly as Much as they needed offensive line, and Eli Raridon Out Of Notre Dame fits the bill with his high upside as the number one tight end as a big target. The Pats Added Prospects To The defense in the later rounds with cornerback Karon Prunty Out Of Wake Forest, Linebacker Namdi Obiazor Out of TCU, Quintyvius Hutchins Out Of Boston College. Overall, I would have liked the Patriots To Draft a Wide Receiver In The Late Rounds To Infuse More Talent Rather Than Relying On A Promised AJ brown Trade Or Continued Development From Their Young Core Of Receivers. The Patriots also drafted a quarterback in the fourth round. They began Morton Out Of Texas Tech, and The Pats like to draft, develop, and trade quarterbacks (Jimmy G, Jacoby Brissett, Joe Milton III, Matt Cassell, Etc), and The Tradition Continues With Morton. The Patriots Put Together A Functional Draft And Hit The Two Biggest Needs On Their Roster With upside And Potential Difference Makers.
Grade B.
AFC South:
Tennessee Titans—
After The Titans Selected Ohio State Wide Receiver Carnell Tate Fourth Overall, Tate Told NFL Network Reporter Laura Rutledge, “I’m Always Open.” Tate May Have Found Constant room to Maneuver At Ohio State, where He Played With a crop of talented receivers, but he’s About To Find Himself A lot Less Open. Tate Head To Tennessee To Take Over As The Number One Receiver, And While He’s never worked as a number, Neither Did JSN, Emeka Egbuka, and A Number Of The Ohio State receivers. The Titans Traded Back Into The First Round And Draft Auburn edge Rusher Keldric Faulk, a Depth Of Tools In Need Of More Development. The Titans Passed On Ohio State Linebacker Sonny Styles In The Top Ten. They Waited For The Second Round To Grab Anthony Hill Jr., a versatile linebacker out of Texas A. Versatile Linebacker With Some Upside As A Rusher. After the second round, the Titans drafted a backup in the fifth round, where they picked up guard Fernando Carmona. Still, I Like The Pick Up Of Running Back Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round as a low-stakes game breaker for Tennessee’s Offense. A couple of sixth-rounders and one seventh-round pick closed the draft for the Titans. The Titans gutted most of their draft depth, trading back into the first round for Keldric Faulk, a projected Developmental Player and Maybe Not A Day One Contributor.
Grade C+
Jacksonville Jaguars—
Few Teams Have Caught As Much Flack For Their Draft Like The Jacksonville Jaguars, and without a first-round pick, the Jags “Reached” For Several Players Based on the board and Where Such A Player Ranked On Big Board. No Player Represents The Jags' Confounding Approach To Roster Building Than Their First Pick, Nick Boekircher Out Of Texas A&M, Mostly Considered A Blocking Tight End Who Secured Only 19 receptions In His Last College Season, And Turned 25 Years Old Before The Close Of The Season. With three third-round picks, the Jags Select Albert Regis, defensive tackle, Texas A&M, a much-needed piece added to the defensive line, but another reach. Emmanuel Pregnon, a Top Five Guard In The Draft, Dropped To The Jags in The Third Round, and The Jags Followed This Pick With Another Reach According To The Board In Cornerback Jalen Huskey, a Player Not On Most Publications' Big Boards. Wesley Williams edges out of Duke in the fourth round as a short, power-packing edge rusher. The Jags draft another tight end in the fifth round. Tanner Kozoil(This one is more Productive). 74 receptions at Houston, averaged 2.26 Yards Per Route run. A Player Whose “ball skills” stand as his best trait. The jags Rounded Out their Ten Selection Draft With two six-round wide receivers, Josh Cameron of Baylor, a receiver with so-fitting receiver dimensions, and CJ Williams out of Stanford. In The Seventh Round, edge Rusher Zach Dufree of Washington and Linebacker Parker Hughes of Middle Tennessee. A lot of McVay disciples have become enraptured by their father figures' new 13-personnel-heavy set scheme, and now Liam Coen has decided to incorporate More 13 Into His Offense. The Jags Watch Their Number One Wide Receiver, Brian Thomas Jr., fall off from the elite production of his rookie year, and Some Suspected Thomas didn’t Want To Catch Passes Over The Middle And Risk Injury, Something The Jags won't Have To Worry About Out Right With Their Two New Tight Ends(In Theory). I’m Not An NFL Team Administrator; I Don’t Know What Strategy Teams Use To Build Their Boards and Rosters. But They Know More About These Prospects Than I Ever Will. So, How Can I, a man with a MacBook and an Internet Connection, Give A Team An “F”?
Grade B-
Indianapolis Colts—
The Colts Joined The Jags As An AFC South Team Without a first-round pick, but the Colts Made Away With a few top-of-the-line talents.CJ Allen, Linebacker, A two-and-a-half-year starter (30 Games), Out of Georgia, in the second round. Another one of the best non-Sonny Styles Linebackers In The Draft comes To Bring Impact To a Mediocre Defense. Safety AJ Haulcy out of LSU, a Top seven Safety In The Third Round, Followed By Jalen Farmer, a high upside athletic specimen, Offensive Lineman out of Kentucky. The Colts' Day Three draft continued with Linebacker Bryce Beottcher Out Of Oregon, followed by Back-to-back edge Rushers In The Fifth and sixth rounds in George Gumbs Jr. Out of Florida and Caden Curry Out Of Ohio State. A couple of seventh-round picks in Seth McGowan, Running Back Out Of Kentucky, and Deion Burks, an undersized slot-based receiver out of Oklahoma. The Colts Focused A Heavy Amount Of Their Draft artillery On The Defensive Side Of The Ball After Falling Short Of “Fixing” Most Of Their perceived issues with the Sauce Gardner Trade. The Colts Picked Up A lot of talented players. I’m curious as to how many Instant Impact Guys they captured in the process. The Colts ' first three picks looked like solid starter options, and The Offense Getting Another Back To Take Some Of The Load Off Jonathan Taylor—Even a seventh-round player—Serves as A Win For This Roster.
Grade B-
Houston Texans—
The Texans Endured The Most Tumultuous Era Of The Demeco Ryan's tenure With The Team. As Quarterback CJ Stroud “Regressed” but The Team Fell One Turnover Heavy Game From Playing In The AFC Championship. Any progress with the Texans starts along the offensive line, and with the 26th pick, the Texans Select Guard Keylan Rutledge Out Of Georgia Tech, one Of The Top Guards On All Whose Arm Length Suggest He Could kick Outside To Right Tackle In A pinch. Known For Their vaunted pass rush, the Texans finished 18th In Quarterback Pressure Rate According To NFL Pro Stats, partly because all of their pressure comes off the edge, and now the Texans Added A Difference Maker Through The Middle In Kayden McDonald out of Ohio State, The Top Defensive Tackle On Many Boards. With their other second-round pick, the Wolverines Marlin Klein is a prospect the Belief Could Ultimately Replace Dalton Schultz as the long-term tight end. A couple of fourth-round picks, guard Febechi Nwaiwu, out of Oklahoma, and Linebacker Wade Woodaz, an Iber Athletic linebacker out of Clemson, but considered a reach by most boards, even in the fourth round. Kamari Ramsey, a Top Ten Safety on The Board(top Five On Some Boards), Out Of USC, In The Fifth Round. Lewis Bond, Wide Receiver, out of Boston College, in the sixth round, and Aiden Fisher, A Top 20 linebacker, out of Indiana, in the seventh round. I Thought The Texans should Have Drafted At least one experimental-type quarterback on Day Three, maybe Taylen Green over another linebacker, or maybe more receiving help. Overall, the Texans scored an A+ Draft. Kamari Ramsey at safety adds depth, and the secondary gets pricey in Their Coming Offseason.
Grade A
AFC North
Cleveland Browns—
The Browns Have Performed Well In Recent Draft Avoiding The Big Flash Over Substance picks, and Relied Heavily On Rookie Production Last Season. The Browns Got Their 2026 Draft Class Started With Four Hits In Rounds 1 & 2, Starting With Tackle Spencer Fano Out Of Utah, a right tackle, the number one pass protector in the draft. KC Concepcion, Wide Receiver, Out Of Texas A&M At 24th, with Cleveland’s Second Pick In The 1st Round. In the second round, they snatch up two more top fifty players. Denzel Boston, from Washington, is a really skilled player who fell because he chose not to test, and Safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, from Toledo. The Browns Add Tackle Austin Barber In The Third Round Another Tackle Who Could Steal A Starting Role Or Sit And Develop. the Offensive Line Retooling Continued For The Browns With Parker Brailsford center Out of Alabama Another Highly Ranked Player For His Position Followed By Alabama Linebacker Justin Jefferson With their Second Fifth Round Pick and Joe Royer Tight end Out of Cincinnati A Receiving Threat With A 75.0% Contested Catch Rate. The Browns Built A “Meat And Potatoes” Draft with A lot of Upside And Development Pieces At Core Roster Positions. The Browns took The Path of “building a foundation for a quarterback to be added in the 2027 Draft” (ESPN). Could That Quarterback exist on the roster? Maybe the newly minted Brown Taylen Green quarterback out of Arkansas?
Grade A
Baltimore Ravens— I like the Ravens' draft based on the intention behind every pick, starting with Guard Olaivavega Ioane, the top guard in the draft from Penn State. The Ravens Didn’t Get “cute.” They Drafted A Position Of Need With The Best Player Available At That Position. Zion Young, Edge Rusher Out If Missouri In The Second Round. He Looks The Part At 6’6 with “Favorable” Arm Length and pass rush skill set for the position, who projects to play the role of serviceable pass rusher if not a Star. The Ravens Needed a True “X” Receiver In The Third Round. Baltimore selected Ja’Kobi Lane Out Of USC, the 6’4 200 lb receiver with 4.4 Speed. Wide Receivers Heavy On Traits Don’t Always Translate To A League That Quickly Adapts and Erases One-Dimensional Players, Especially At Receiver. Elijah Sarratt, in the fourth round, receiver out of Indiana, not a big separator, but a good receiver who catches nearly everything thrown his way, after catching 15 Touchdowns Last Season. The Ravens Hedge Their Bets On One Of These Receivers Panning Out. Matthew Hibner, A Receiving Tight End Out of SMU, is a player who potentially replaces Mark Andrews in The Coming Seasons. With three fifth-round picks, the Ravens Select Nickel Back Chandler Rivers out of Duke, and More and more of these smaller slot corners have popped up as football players move away from the running back position. Another Tight end, Josh Cuevas, out of Alabama, and Adam Randall, running back Out Of Clemson, Who Won’t Take Over For Derrick Henry, But Bring a pass-catching element as a former receiver. Punter Ryan Eckley In The Sixth Round out Of Michigan State, Rayshaun Benny, Defensive Tackle Out of Michigan, and Evan Beerntsen, Offensive Guard out of Northwestern. The Ravens Pull Off A Strong Draft By Double-Downing At Key Positions and Finding Key Reserves And Potential Replacements For Core Star Players. While Only One (or both) of their receivers, Tight Ends, and offensive guards pan out, the Ravens Protected Themselves with Talent Against the Potential of Busts.
Grade A-
Pittsburgh Steelers—
The Draft Board didn’t Fall In A way That Allowed The Steelers To Draft Quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round; however, not reaching for Simpson Opened The Door For The Steelers to pick up Some Crucial Roster-Building Options. Tackle Max Iheanacho from Arizona State Fills A Positional Need and Possesses Adequate Length For The left Tackle Position. Germie Bernard, The Versatile Alabama receiver, joins DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman In The Steelers ' pass-catching corps, and suddenly, the Steelers have evolved from one of the worst receiving groups entering the offseason into a complementary one. With three third-round picks, the Steelers drafted Drew Allar, a quarterback from Penn State with Josh Allen-level traits but Justin Fields-level results. Daylen Everette, Cornerback From Georgia And Iowa, Offensive Lineman Gennings Dunker, and With Questions At Both Tackle Spots and on the interior, the Steelers Came Away With Two Of The Most Discussed Tackles and offensive linemen in this draft. He Projects Better As a guard, But His Plus arm Could Help Him Stay Outside At Tackle. Kaden Wetjen, out of Iowa in the Fourth, the 35th-ranked receiver by ESPN, looks like a reach, especially considering other undersized options remained on the board. Riley Nowakowski, Tight End Out Of Indiana, In The Fifth Round. Gabriel Rubio, Defensive Tackle Out Of Notre Dame, in The Sixth Round. Safety Robe RT Spears Jennings Out Of Oklahoma and Eli Heidenreich Running Back Out Of Navy. Taking A Flyer On Drew Allar in the third round, adding two potential game wreckers along the offensive line, and Potential Pass Catchers. The Steelers Need More Secondary Help Than Maybe They Can Admit, But The Offense Has Started To Take On Some Direction.
Grade B-
AFC West—
Los Angeles Chargers—
The Chargers Have Made The Playoffs Two Years In A Row Under Jim Harbaugh, But They’ve faced back-to-back wild-card exits. Last season, the offense fell apart due to injury, but if the Chargers' offensive line stays healthy, will they emerge as Super Bowl Contenders In 2026? The Chargers addressed the defensive line with one of my favorite prospects, Akeem Mesidor, the 25-year-old edge rusher out of Miami. Mesidor brings his high level of production, immediate impact, and advanced detail in pass-rush skills to a Chargers team that has Leaned Into The enduring abilities of 35-year-old Khalil Mack at the edge Rusher. The Chargers selectikg Center Jake Slaughter out Of Florida In The second Round Looked “Strange” The Team Already Signed A Center And The Positional Value In The Second Round Doesnt Correspond With The Big Board. With Three Fourth Round Picks The Chargers Select Dynamic Undersize Receiver Brennen Thompson Out Of Texas A&M In The Fourth Round and With No third Round Pick The Charger Missed The Run On Receivers In The Third Round. Thompson has some tank in him and Ran A 4.26 forty, but he’s Even Smaller Than Dell, and I haven’t Witnessed Too Many Receivers At That Size Thrive At The Next Level. The Chargers Also Selected Tackle Travis Burke Out Of Memphis, a lumbering tackle with slow feet, but whose technique and gargantuan frame (6’8, 34 1/4 Arms) Suggest A Higher Upside: Genesis Smith, A Big Safety Out Of Arizona. Nick Barrett, Defensive Tackle Out Of South Carolina, in the fifth round, and Logan Taylor, guard Out Of Boston College, and Guard Alex Harkey In The Sixth Round. The Chargers Hurt Their Grade Selecting Jake Slaughter at center Over A Wide Receiver or adding Another Edge Rusher or a receiver that they need, but a pick like Harkey in the sixth, a very Good Guard Out Of Oregon, Who Could Become A Difference Maker In The run and Positionally Flexible Player.
Grade B-
Kansas City Chiefs—
The Chiefs made their first top-seven selection in The Draft since 2013, Eric Fisher, When They Selected Mansoor Delane, a cornerback, out of LSU, after trading up to sixth overall. Delane Ranked as The Clear Cut Number One Corner With Considerable Distance Between He And The Next Corner On The Board At A Position Of Need For The Chiefs. The Chiefs Add To Their Defense Again With Peter Woods out Of Clemson with The 29th From The Rams in the Trent McDuffie Trade As A Potential Replacement For Chris Jones Up Front. Many mock drafts had Reuben Bain Going To The Chiefs at nine before the trade-up selection of Mansoor Delane. So, the Chiefs go edge rusher in the second round with R Mason Thomas Out Of Oklahoma, A less Physically Gifted Rusher, but a Forceful Rusher. Jadon Canady, A Safety out of Oregon, In The Fourth round, Emmett Johnson, Running Back Out Of Nebraska, in the fifth, alongside Wide Receiver Cyrus Allen, Out Of Cincinnati. The Chiefs Ended The Fall of Garrett Nussmeier, Quarterback Out of LSU, Another Former Projected First Round Quarterback At The Start Of The College Season. The Chiefs Drained A Decent amount Of Their Draft Capital Moving Up To Select Mansoor Delane At Sixth Overall, an A-grade move, and Peter Woods at defensive tackle satisfies a need, but the Chiefs Failed To Add More Depth To The Back End Of Their Roster in The Process. The Chiefs Failed To Service Their Rosters Need At Wide Receiver, and Trading Out Of The 29th Pick and Searching For A Defensive Tackle May Have Sufficed.
Grade C+
Las Vegas Raiders—
The Questions Didn’t start with who the Raiders will select with the first overall pick, but when Will Mendoza Takeover The Newly Installed Offense Of Klint Kubiak? For now, Kirk Cousins Stands as The Starter As Mendoza Prepares In The Shadow. NFL teams build their football roster On More than A Quarterback, and the Raiders Select Trayden Stukes, Safety Out of Arizona, For A Defense Needing A Difference Maker. The Raiders Go Edge Rusher and Center In The Third Round, Keyron Crawford and Trey Muhn III, To Fill Needs On The roster. The Raiders Took A Flyer On Jermod McCoy The Injured Corner Out Of Tennessee A Player Whose Talent Indicate A First Round Pick But The worsen Degree Of His Injured Knee Scared Many Team Away As Draft Day Approach. These Injured Late Picks Rarely Work Out, But I’m Interested To Learn What The Raiders Gain From McCoy's Selection In The Fourth Round. Mike Washington, Running Back out Of Arkansas, To Back Up Ashton Jeanty in The Raiders and Kilimt Kubiak’s Run Game. Dalton Johnson Joins His College Teammate Stokes In The Raiders' secondary as a safety prospect. Hezekiah Masses A Tall Springy Cornerback Out Of California Follows In The Fifth Round—Malik Benson, Wide Receiver Out Of Oregon, and Brandon Cleveland, Defensive Tackle Out Of North Carolina State. The Raiders Probably Feel secure In Their Offensive Line because, Outside Of Center, A position they filled with a historic payday, Las Vegas didn’t draft any offensive linemen. The Receiver Groups Also Needed Additions, and the Raider Could Have Skipped Safety in the Second Round or moved back into the first to add a receiver. Even with Klimt Kubiak In Charge, I don’t Think This Offense Will Move The Needle On Sundays, but overall, Las Vegas produced a solid outing.
Grade C+
Denver Broncos—
THAT first and Ten Run By Bo Nix In Their Broncos Over Time Affair With the Bills Will Haunt Broncos fans until they get another shot at the AFC Throne. The Broncos traded their first-round pick to the Dolphins for Jaylen Waddle, giving Denver a much-needed quick-release threat who could spare Nix Of All Those Rushing Attempts and A Great Value Surrendering Three Picks In The Process. The Broncos Draft Started In The Third Round with Texas A&M Defensive Tackle Tyler Onyedim to Play Alongside Zach Allen. Denver got a fourth-round pick back from Miami In The Waddle trade, and with two fourth-round picks, the Broncos selected Jonah Coleman, running back, Washington, and offensive Tackle Kage Casey Out Of Boston College. In The Fifth, the Broncos Select Justin Josey, One Of The Top Tight Ends in This Class, who fell to the fifth round because teams prefer blocking tight end over move tight end. Three Seventh Round Picks: Safety Miles Scott Out Of Illinois, Tight End Dallen Bentley Out Of Utah, and Red Murdock at linebacker, who also has a Clear Path To Making The Final Roster With The Broncos Thin At Linebacker. The Broncos have tried improving Their Tight End Position By Signing Evan Engram in free agency a year ago, but he didn’t live up to the Hope, and Now The Broncos have added two new options to the lineup through the draft.
