Transaction
Denver addressed tight end depth by moving up to select the 6-3, 245-pound pass-catcher at pick 152.
The Broncos traded up to pick 152 in the fifth round to select NC State tight end Justin Joly, a 6-3, 245-pound prospect. The move signals Denver's intent to add multiple tight ends in this draft after investing early capital at the position.
Joly is a rookie with no prior NFL experience. The trade-up suggests the Broncos saw him as a target before others could move on the position in a middle-round window where tight end scarcity typically forces teams to act.
