The Denver Broncos aren’t going to limit their options early in the 2019 NFL Draft. Which tight ends could be considered with their top picks?

Are the Denver Broncos going to be in the market for a tight end early in the 2019 NFL Draft?

You tell me…

No seriously, the Broncos just tweeted about Noah Fant again.

The Broncos’ current tight end group consists of Matt LaCosse, Jake Butt, Troy Fumagalli, Brian Parker, and Temarrick Hemingway. Last year’s starter Jeff Heuerman is a free agent, and John Elway has stated multiple times he’s interested in bringing the former third-round pick back.

If the Broncos let Heuerman hit the market and he ends up signing elsewhere, this team is going to need to address the tight end position and they might be in a rare position to do that at pick no. 10 overall.

Tight end is not the most important position on a football roster but this year’s class has some really good players at the top and even if the Broncos don’t use a first-round selection on that spot, they could look to address it in round two.

Let’s take a look at the tight ends the Broncos could consider in the top two rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft.
