Traded 2025 sixth round pick - to Broncos for Albert Okwuegbunam 2025 seventh round pick - on 2023-08-29.
The Denver Broncos have traded two of their 2025 NFL Draft picks to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for tight end Albert Okwuegbunam. The Broncos sent the Eagles a sixth-round pick and a seventh-round pick in the 2025 draft, and in return, they received Okwuegbunam, a former second-round pick of the Broncos who was traded to the Eagles in 2022.
Okwuegbunam is a talented pass-catching tight end who has shown flashes of potential in his young career. He has good size and athleticism, and he is a willing blocker in the running game. However, he has also been inconsistent at times, and he has struggled with injuries.
The Broncos are hoping that Okwuegbunam can be a reliable target for quarterback Russell Wilson in the passing game. He will compete with Greg Dulcich for the starting tight end job, and he could also be used as a red-zone threat.
The Broncos now have all of their original picks in the first six rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, plus an extra sixth-round pick from the Eagles.
