With their 66th overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Texas A&M DT Tyler Onyedim.
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler had a third round grade on Onyedim and was his DT7 in this draft.
Onyedim is quick out of his stance and has adequate athleticism to shoot gaps and slice through blocks. His hands and feet stay connected as he works the blocker’s edge, but he reverts to a predictable
long-arm move as his go-to plan B and needs to evolve beyond that. Against the run, he plays with awareness and extension to do his job, but he struggles reacting to double teams and down blocks. Onyedim might not have a true distinguishing trait, but he also doesn’t have a fatal flaw that will be exposed by NFL competition. He projects best as a one-gap penetrator and dependable rotational piece.
