The Denver Broncos drafted Texas A&M defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim in the early third round after trading out of the second round. Immediately after the pick, we asked Broncos’ fans what they thought of the pick and most picked A-B, but those grades did not quite reach a combined 50%.

Looking at SB Nation, they graded every pick from Day 2 and they were a little more optimistic than us fans giving Denver a solid B+ for the selection.

66. Denver Broncos — Tyler Onyedim, DT, Texas A&M

Interesting upside pick that will need time to develop. Onyedim has length that can’t be taught, and knows how to use his wingspan to make plays. However, the arm tackling he got away with in college won’t work in the NFL, and right now he’s sub-300 pounds and would get bullied at the time of scrimmage. The Broncos have the time to develop him as a player, and I think they could even up with something special at a fairly low risk. — JD
