New Broncos TE Greg Dulcich ready to make plays in Year 1

The Denver Broncos selected UCLA tight end Greg Dulcich in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft two weeks ago (80th overall).

Dulcich (6-4, 243 pounds) ran a 4.69 40-yard dash. He drew comparisons to former Broncos TE Noah Fant as well, a player traded to the Seattle Seahawks as part of the Russell Wilson trade.

Although he’s a third-round pick, Dulcich was the Broncos’ second pick during the NFL draft. But for context, the first three rounds of the draft are typically the starter rounds anyway. Basically, rookies selected in the first three rounds of the draft are expected to produce in Year 1. Last draft, the players selected in the third round by the Broncos were Quinn Meinerz and Baron Browning.

Well, good thing Dulcich is ready to make plays in Year 1. After being drafted on Day 2 of the draft last week, he said, “We were really running the stuff that [UCLA coach Chip Kelly] was doing in Philly [with the Eagles, in college]. We were running a pro-level offense, and I think that’s what has been great about my process there and preparing me for the next level is that I’ve been doing it for four years.”

That experience in an pro-style offense will undoubtedly make Dulcich’s transition to the NFL easier this summer. He’ll have a chance to make an instant impact for the Broncos as a rookie.
