On March 16, the NFL world turned their heads toward Denver and Seattle when the Broncos traded for superstar quarterback Russell Wilson; one of the players who the Broncos traded was starting tight end, Noah Fant. His departure from the Broncos left a hole in the tight end position.
At the time, the Broncos’ backup tight end was 2020 fourth-round pick Albert Okwuegbunam. After trading Fant, the Denver Broncos looked toward the 2022 NFL draft to help the tight end position, where they picked UCLA product Greg Dulcich in the third round.
