The Broncos selected Illinois WR Pat Bryant with the 74th pick of Round 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft. At 6’2, 208 pounds, Bryant can win downfield with his length and strength at the catch point. After struggling with drops from 2021-2023, he tallied just one drop in 2024. Bryant played four seasons at Illinois, but he didn’t lead the team in receiving until2024. Last fall, he posted 984 yards and 10 TDs. He ranked a close second on the team in catches (54) behind first-year transfer (and sixth-year player) Zakhari Franklin. In 2023, Bryant ranked third on the team in catches and yards behind current NFL backups Isaiah Williams and Casey Washington. He had a 7.06 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 16th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 23.9%, and seventh among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 86. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 20.7. He ranked 21st among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.14. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Demarcus Robinson.
Bryant is a bigger WR who is a solid route runner with good hands.
He will likely be behind WRs like Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin initially and not be relevant in redraft.
It is unlikely Bryant cracks the depth chart, though his size is different from other Broncos WRs.
He could be a deep dynasty candidate in the fourth round of rookie drafts.
