Broncos Make Announcement on Five Rookie Draft Picks

The only players drafted by Denver yet to be signed to rookie deals are first-round pick cornerback Jahdae Barron and second-round pick running back R.J. Harvey.

Bryant was the Broncos’ third pick in the draft and the No. 74 pick overall. He had a breakout season in his final year at Illinois in 2024, catching 54 receptions for 984 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Later in the third round, the Broncos made a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles to trade up for Jones at No. 101. In his last three seasons at LSU, Jones accumulated 96 total tackles, 37 solo tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, five pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.

The Broncos also received the No. 134 pick in the same trade with the Eagles. They used that pick to get Robinson, a reliable reserve defender at Alabama. In 37 games, Robinson has accumulated 54 total tackles, 30 solo tackles, 11 tackles for loss, six sacks, and two fumble recoveries.

Denver wouldn’t pick again until late in the sixth round, where they picked Crawshaw at No. 216. Crawshaw was one of the most experienced punters in college football, playing in 53 games with 190 punts for an average of 46.4 yards per punt.

Finally, the Broncos drafted former college basketball standout and Utah tight end Caleb Lohner at No. 241 in the seventh round. In his only college football season, Lohner caught four receptions for 64 yards and four touchdowns. At 6-foot-7, 258 pounds, Lohner could be a wildcard option for the Broncos' red-zone packages.
