Episode Description

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down the Broncos’ two‑tight‑end draft haulJustin Joly and Dallen Bentley — and what their arrivals mean for the future of the position in Denver.

Joly is the classic F tight end, a modern move piece who can work the middle of the field, uncover quickly, and give Bo Nix a reliable matchup‑beater. But does he have enough long speed to be a true seam‑ripper, or is he more of a chain‑mover with route nuance and body control.

Bentley brings the Y‑tight‑end frame, the in‑line power, and the ability to win physically at the catch point. His size and play strength make him an instant red‑zone threat, and his blocking gives him a path to early snaps. Together, they might be the future foundation of the Broncos’ tight end room.

🔥 In this episode:

  • Why Justin Joly profiles as Denver’s long‑term F tight end

  • Whether he has the speed to threaten the seam consistently

  • How Dallen Bentley’s size and strength translate to red‑zone production

  • Why Bentley could become the Broncos’ next true Y tight end

  • How these two rookies could reshape the TE room for years

Jump in the comments — which rookie TE do YOU think becomes the Broncos’ long‑term starter.
