Broncos selected Utah TE Dallen Bentley with the No. 256 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

At 25-years-old heading into draft day, Bentley (6’4"/253) is one of the older prospects in the class. He was a starter in his final season at Utah, catching 48 passes and six touchdowns. His 620 receiving yards were tied for sixth-most tight end receiving yards in the FBS for 2025. Bentley has the ability to shake defenders off his frame and work well as a zone receiver. Though he has inconsistencies as a blocker, Bentley was impactfully used as a blocker in motion in the run game at Utah. He will be able to fill a role in a tight end room at the next level, most likely as a pass-catching blocker in motion rather than a mauling protector in-line.
