NFL DRAFT 2022

Cecil Lammey was high on both of the Broncos day two draft picks

After sitting idly by on day, the Broncos got into the action on Friday night. Denver picked two players on day two, adding one second-rounder and on third-round selection in the NFL Draft.

How did they fare? Here’s how Cecil Lammey evaluated their picks, both of whom fell into his “Broncos Fits” category on his position-by-position breakdowns leading up to the draft.

***

No. 64

Nik Bonitto (Oklahoma) will be a late second- or early third-round pick in the draft. The Broncos should see him on the board when they pick at No. 64 overall, but he won’t be there much longer (if he’s even on the board) much longer after that. Bonitto is a “moves” guy and not a “power” guy. However, he has the athleticism to turn in coverage and make plays downfield in addition to what he can do from the edge.

***

No. 80

UCLA’s Greg Dulcich is the perfect fit for the Broncos. He’s got straight-line speed and route-running prowess that few at the position possess. Dulcich is not the devastating run-blocker some teams are looking for, but he’s a tough player who can hold the point of attack – and that’s good enough given the way he can be used in the passing game. Dulcich can be a three-level weapon in the NFL. His straight-line speed means he can run by linebackers and safeties with ease. He keeps his head on a swivel and quickly identifies the ball in flight. This helps him adjust to passes on the fly and get to passes others at his position would miss.
