Denver

Broncos

The Broncos used a fourth-round pick to select Coleman in this year’ draft. While it’s not a high enough pick that suggests he will see significant playing time out of the gate, it sounds like he will have a chance to prove himself in certain situations with a chance to earn a heavier workload as he progresses this offseason and into the regular season. While both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey stand in the way of Coleman, Dobbins is on a two-year deal and would cost just $2 million to cut next offseason, and Harvey struggled on the ground as a rookie, averaging just 3.7 YPC and 2.72 yards after contact per attempt. Coleman will make for an interesting stash in redraft and best ball leagues this offseason, and could turn into a touchdown vulture that puts a hard cap on the fantasy upside of both Dobbins and Harvey.

York (5’10/226) is an undersized but high-motor MIKE whose 66 tackles, 8 havoc plays and 7 TFLs reflect his instinctive trigger and downhill urgency. He flashed situational pressure ability with 7 pressures on 43 rushes (16.3 percent pressure rate), showing quick acceleration to attack creases as a blitzer. York’s compact 5’10”, 226-pound frame and 5.17 RAS with poor agility metrics (4.48 shuttle, 7.32 three-cone) limit his range and change-of-direction consistency in space. His 84.6 percent tackle rate and modest 5 run stops underscore the issues stacking blocks and maintaining gap integrity against size at the second level. York projects as a depth linebacker and core special teamer whose instincts and urgency give him a chance to stick if he can mitigate his size limitations with improved processing and block avoidance.

Harvey (5'11/185), 23, spent one season at Auburn before transferring to Georgia Tech in 2022. He totaled 26 tackles, three TFLs, one sack and seven passes defended last year. He produced 15 bench press reps at the NFL Scouting Combine and opted out of the other tests, three of which he completed at Georgia Tech’s Pro Day, though the results were underwhelming, including a 9’8 broad jump. Harvey can contribute on special teams and will likely have to in order to make an NFL roster. He dislocated his right ankle last year.

Key (6'3?/210), 22, spent three seasons at Kentucky before transferring to Nebraska in 2025, catching 39 passes for 452 yards and five touchdowns in his final college season. He is a jump-ball specialist who chose not to test at the NFL Scouting Combine. His lack of special teams experience could make it difficult for him to secure a spot on an NFL active roster.

Murdock (6'2/232), 22, is a tackling machine with a penchant for forcing fumbles. He led the MAC in forced fumbles in 2023 (four), the FBS in 2024 (seven) and the MAC again in 2025 (six). His 2024 sum is a school record. Murdock earned first-team All-MAC honors in each of the last two seasons and was a second-team All-American in 2025. He totaled 156 tackles, 16.5 TFLs, two sacks, two passes defended and one interception in 2024, and 142 tackles, 13.5 TFLs, five sacks and one pass defended in 2025. His 2025 tackle total also led the MAC. As the literal final pick of the draft, Murdock will undoubtedly start out on special teams in training camp, but if he can make the 2026 53-man roster, he could eventually emerge as a starting option over the next 2-3 years.

At 25-years-old heading into draft day, Bentley (6’4"/253) is one of the older prospects in the class. He was a starter in his final season at Utah, catching 48 passes and six touchdowns. His 620 receiving yards were tied for sixth-most tight end receiving yards in the FBS for 2025. Bentley has the ability to shake defenders off his frame and work well as a zone receiver. Though he has inconsistencies as a blocker, Bentley was impactfully used as a blocker in motion in the run game at Utah. He will be able to fill a role in a tight end room at the next level, most likely as a pass-catching blocker in motion rather than a mauling protector in-line.

Scott (6'/203) joined Illinois as a receiver and stayed in that role over his first two seasons with the team. He moved to safety in 2023 and never looked back, starting 37 of his 38 games over the next three years. Pro Football Focus graded him as a top-15 safety in run-defense last year, and he has the look of a former receiver when he squares up with wideouts in coverage. His 4.62 40-yard dash could be an issue in the pros, but Scott could work his way into a starting role with more reps at safety under his belt.

Joly (6’4/241) spent two years at UConn, breaking out in the second with a 52/578/2 receiving line. He then transferred to NC State and upped the ante again with 661 yards and four scores on 43 catches as a junior. Joly’s efficiency plummeted in 2025 and he turned six extra catches into 172 fewer yards, though he did score a career-high seven times. Joly doesn’t have one trait that sticks out as elite, but he can do a lot of things well. He navigates traffic after the catch well but is also aggressive at the catch point, having brought down 66 percent of his career contested targets. The Broncos add Joly as a potential long-term starter in a busy tight end room.

Casey (6’6/310) is a fortified collegiate left tackle who handled a heavy workload with impressive efficiency, posting 471 pass-blocking snaps while allowing pressure on just 1.7 percent of his reps with five sacks attributed across the season. He was equally steady in the run game, producing 420 run-blocking snaps with just a 1.0 percent blown-run-block rate and a 1.3 percentile total blown-block rate across 891 total blocking reps, while committing only one penalty. A well-built, proportional blocker, Casey wins with persistence and a physical finishing mentality, using good balance and adequate lateral quickness to mirror rushers and redirect against inside counters. He also shows strong anchor ability against power and the awareness to identify pre-snap movement, helping him maintain control at the point of attack. Athletically, Casey tested with an uninspiring 6.00 Relative Athletic Score, highlighted by a 5.20s forty-yard dash, 3.01s twenty-yard split and a 38th percentile 8.01s 3-Cone, as limited explosion and agility caps his overall athletic ceiling. Casey projects as an initial swing tackle with guard flexibility who could develop into a starting-caliber lineman in the right system.

Coleman (5’8/220) spent his freshman season as a backup before leading the Arizona Wildcats with 871 rushing yards in 2023. He would serve as his team’s leading rusher in each of the following two seasons as well. Coleman put his best work on tape in 2024 when he ran for over 1,000 yards on 193 attempts. He got off to another hot start in 2025, but a knee injury late in the year limited him to 30 carries for 115 yards and two scores over his final four games. The issue also sidelined him for a week. Despite catching four passes during that stretch, he still finished the season with a 31-354-3 receiving line on top of his 758 yards and 15 scores on the ground. His ability to play on all three downs made him a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award and will be his calling card in the pros. Coleman isn’t particularly fast on tape and the fact that he opted out of the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and Washington’s Pro Day all but confirms his lack of speed. Coleman’s rugged build could make him the long-term replacement for JK Dobbins, who re-signed with the Broncos this offseason.
