For about as many years as you can count, the Denver Broncos have been needing a true playmaker at tight end. Noah Fant is a tremendous option in the passing game. He gives the team a dynamic weapon in the offense.
Tight end is a revolving door with this team and they made a huge move giving confidence to their new quarterback in Joe Flacco with this selection. One of the biggest reasons for this move is the uncertainty surrounding Jake Butt’s health and Jeff Heuerman’s consistency.
The selection does not bode well for second-year player Troy Fumagalli either.
