Denver Broncos 2020 NFL Draft grades: Jerry Jeudy leads class
118. TE. Missouri. Albert Okwuegbunam. player. 822. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
The Broncos might be looking to go with more two-tight end sets this season. Elway added yet another offensive playmaker with his fourth-round choice, tabbing Albert Okwuegbunam. The former Missouri tight end has all the physical attributes to become an intriguing NFL player, but has yet to produce at a consistent level.
With Mizzou, Okwuegbunam caught 26 passes for 306 yards and six touchdowns in 2019 over nine games.
5th Round
LB. Wake Forest. Justin Strnad. 889. 178. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
Strnad was a three-year starter for the Demon Deacons on the second level of their defense, and flashed enough to go mid-Day 3. At 6-foot-3 and 238 pounds, Strnad is a smaller linebacker who could have trouble dealing with runs between the tackles. However, he should provide immediate special teams help while contributing on a rotational basis to Vic Fangio’s defense.
6th Round
Fresno State. Netane Muti. 897. Pick Analysis. OG. Scouting Report. 181. player
Another interior offensive lineman here. Muti comes to Denver as a mountain at 6-foot-3 and 315 pounds. The main concern here is physical maladies, as he was only able to suit up for five games over the past two years, dealing with a torn Achilles tendon and a Lisfranc injury. If he can stay healthy, the Broncos might have a steal, but that’s obviously a huge if.
7th Round
Tyrie Cleveland. player. 840. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR. Florida. 252
Cleveland is the third receiver and fourth pass-catcher taken by the Broncos. With the Gators, Cthe youngster amassed 25 catches and 351 receiving yards as a reserve.
Derrek Tuszka. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. EDGE. North Dakota State. 254. 45
At 6-foot-4 and 251 pounds, Tuszka is undersized to play on the line. However, his combine numbers suggest good enough athleticism to stand up and be productive in Vic Fangio’s defense.
