Did the Denver Broncos just find their long-term answer at Tight End? While the 2026 TE class was defined by early runs and several teams reaching for blocking tight ends, the Broncos stayed patient , moved up to the 5th and landed Justin Joly. Is he the biggest "steal" of Denver's draft haul?
In today’s episode, the DNVR Draft crew dives deep into the tape of the Broncos' new weapons. We break down why Joly’s versatility makes him a mismatch nightmare and why Boise State’s Kage Casey represents a fascinating shift in the "Sean Payton mold" for offensive linemen. From the early run on TEs to the depth of the OG/OT class, we’re unpacking everything you need to know about the newest Broncos in the trenches and out wide.
• The Justin Joly "Steal": How the Broncos landed a premium pass-catching talent while other teams were reaching early.
• The Kage Casey Prototype: Why Casey breaks the traditional mold and what it says about Sean Payton’s evolving offensive line philosophy.
• The Great TE Run: Analyzing the draft board and the frenzy that saw several tight ends go higher than expected.
• Trench Talk: Evaluating the value at Offensive Tackle and Guard—who has the best path to starting in Denver?
• Schematic Fit: How these specific picks complement Bo Nix and the Sean Payton system.
• Draft Strategy: Did the Broncos prioritize athleticism over "traditional" measurables this year?
