Broncos add tight end depth with Troy Fumagalli in 5th round

The Denver Broncos have selected tight end Troy Fumagalli out of Wisconsin with the 156th pick in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Fumagalli was a productive pass-catching option for the Badgers during his college career, posting 547 yards and four touchdowns in 2017.

The red-zone threat adds much-needed depth at tight end in Denver, and will compete with Jeff Heuerman, Jake Butt, and Austin Traylor for playing time.

What the analysts are saying

• "He lacks athletic ability to consistently get open as a pass catcher, but he can poke holes in zone coverage and work himself free in play-action." Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Fumagalli has physical limitations and isn't a big-play threat, but he takes pride in being a complete player and his crafty routes and reliable ball skills will be his calling card to an extended pro career." Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
