Mile High Report
The final weeks of the regular collegiate season are upon us. In just a few weeks, the conference championships will take place, the playoff chase for the national title will begin, and the bowl game extravaganza shortly thereafter. Before you know it, it will be the new year and the 2026 NFL Combine will be here.
We have covered a lot of ground so far in Future Broncos. For this week’s installment, I’ll be giving my thoughts on three prospects to watch in Week 13. Some are playing in bigger games than the others, but nevertheless, all are players to keep your eye on as potential for targets next April.
Oscar Delp — Tight End — Georgia
Over the years, the University of Georgia has developed and put out numerous prospects at the tight end position. Most recently, Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington come to mind. Two totally different prospects, but certainly players tremendous athleticism and talent that have allowed them to succeed in early on in their careers.
Back in September, I mentioned Oscar Delp as a player to watch. While his overall production doesn’t stand out, Delp is a far better prospect than his numbers indicate. For whatever reason, he just doesn’t appear to get the volume he deserves. A lot of Bulldogs faithful are perplexed by that as well. Though when the ball goes his way, good things happen.
Sporting NFL ready size at 6’5”, 245 pounds, he fits the mold of what NFL scouts want at the position. As a receiver, I think he has a good feel getting up the seam and does a decent job after the catch. That’s something that has been missing from Denver’s offense this season. There’s no doubt there is a lot of untapped receiving potential with Delp. However, his ability to block in-line as well as being an asset on the move with runs to the outside would be a great addition to propel the Broncos’ ground game.
Let’s face it, the Broncos’ tight end production this year hasn’t been great. If the Broncos wind up picking as late as they are projected now, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Delp was a prospect that comes into focus for them with their earliest Day 2 selection. Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq, if he declares, will more than likely be first tight end off the board.
The race for tight end number two? I wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up being Delp if he has a nice finish to his senior season and strong pre-draft circuit. I think a lot of teams will be bullish on his pro potential. Perhaps Delp will get targeted a lot more today when Georgia takes on Charlotte in a “tune up” game.
Jalon Kilgore — Defensive Back — South Carolina
In my Future Broncos segments, I have steered clear of discussing defensive backs throughout the entire season. One reason for that is the depth and quality the Broncos have in their secondary. It’s definitely not...
