Denver Broncos mock offseason: Projecting major moves

First Round: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

One of my favorite prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft is O.J. Howard, the tight end from Alabama. There is nothing this guy cannot do. He has the athleticism of a wide receiver, but the body of a tight end. He blocks extremely well, which shouldn’t be a huge surprise for tight end prospects but it is.

Howard has a complete game, is NFL-ready, and would be a great third option in the passing game for the Broncos. One thing Mike McCoy and Adam Gase liked to do when implementing their offense in Denver was move the tight ends around the formation, and use multiple players at the position. With A.J. Derby and Jeff Heuerman showing some signs of potential last year, the Broncos would have great options if they add Howard to the mix.

This would be the ideal first round pick, but Howard is not guaranteed to last past the top 15 picks.
