Draft Aftermath: Justin Joly and Dallen Bentley JAM the Broncos TE Room | Orange & Blue Today
Description
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the tight end overhaul that just hit Dove Valley. The Broncos didn’t just add one weapon — they added two. Fifth‑round pick Justin Joly brings the speed, fluidity, and route‑running of a modern move tight end, while seventh‑rounder Dallen Bentley arrives as a rugged, developmental in‑line option with real upside. Together, they jam the Broncos’ TE room with youth, versatility, and long‑term potential.
Joly is the seam‑stretching threat who can win like a big slot and eventually push to replace Evan Engram. Bentley is the physical complement — a blocker with sneaky athleticism who could carve out a role early in heavy packages. Suddenly, a position that looked thin now looks deep, competitive, and built for Sean Payton’s creativity.
