The Denver Broncos selected UCLA tight end Greg Dulcich in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, No. 80 overall.
The Broncos are looking to fill a hole at tight end since parting with Noah Fant as part of the package to acquire Russell Wilson. They also have Albert Okwuegbunam in addition to Dulcich.
Dulcich put up 725 yards and five touchdowns on 42 catches with UCLA last season.
Scouting profile: Greg Dulcich

Dulcich is a former wide receiver who converted into a pass-catching tight end - and it shows. The 22-year-old can be deployed in a variety of ways, as he'll use his long-stride speed, smooth routes, and massive catch radius en route to big gains. He battles for extra yards on every play, and while that resilient attitude should help him as a blocker, he lacks the strength and technique to hold off defenders. It's possible Dulcich fills out his frame and develops his blocking skills under an NFL coaching staff, but it's safer to project him as just a versatile receiving threat at the next level.
