Dane Brugler's "The Beast" thoughts on all our draft picks

1st Rd Jordyn Tyson
A two-year starter at Arizona State, Tyson lined up as the X receiver (74.7 of snaps aligned outside) in offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo’s scheme (former NFL receiver Hines Ward was his wide receivers coach at ASU). After a devastating knee injury at Colorado in 2022, he transferred to Tempe and emerged as the Sun Devils’ go-to receiver the past two seasons, posting a combined 136 catches, 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns over 21 games (Tyson, Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith and UConn’s Skyler Bell were the only three FBS players with at least 1,800 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns over the past two years). He was leading the Big 12 in almost every receiving category through eight weeks of the 2025 season before being sidelined by injury — he missed 34 percent of his teams’ games over the past four years because of various injuries.

Though he doesn’t have elite speed, Tyson is plenty fast, using quickness to avoid press and route acceleration to stress coverage. Despite having only average size and strength, he is competitive in a crowd and contorts his body to make “wow” catches. (He also lowered his drop rate from 8.5 percent in 2024 to 1.6 percent in ‘25.) Loosey-goosey route steps get him in trouble at times, and savvy NFL corners will learn his tricks.

Tyson’s injury history is concerning, but on the field, he is a sleek, twitched-up athlete who can create his own separation and win outside his frame at the catch point. He projects as an NFL starter (inside or outside), with a skill set that reminds me of Stefon Diggs.

2nd Rd Christen Miller
A two-year starter at Georgia, Miller played multiple positions on the interior of the defensive line in defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann’s scheme. Typical for Georgia fronts, he was part of a heavy rotation and averaged just 31.2 snaps per game in 2025. His impact was felt more on tape than on the stat sheet, as he combined for only 11.5 tackles for loss and four sacks in his college career. Auburn center Connor Lew called Miller the toughest player he faced in college.

More quick than explosive, Miller is an athletic big man who mixes things up against blockers and shows impressive range for his size. He flashes violence in his hands to swipe away the reach of blockers and gain access to the pocket, but he lacks consistency in this area. His quickness and strength allow him to stack and leverage gaps.

Miller can be up and down with his anchor and rush consistency, but he is rock solid as a run defender who should excel on early downs. His role will shift depending on scheme, though he projects best as a one-gapping nose in a four-man front.


3rd Rd Oscar Delp
A three-year starter at Georgia, Delp was a Y tight end in offensive coordinator Mike Bobo’s offense. He played alongside Brock Bowers in 2022 and 2023 and was expected to become more of a featured part of the offense over his junior and senior seasons. However, his receiving production declined slightly over the past two years — he never reached 25 catches in a single season at Georgia.

Delp is a good-sized athlete who is still figuring out how to reach his football ceiling. He has above-average speed and body control for his frame, which shows in his route running and when he has a runway after the catch (he models his game after AJ Barner). He plays with physicality in all areas of his game, although his catch-point focus tends to decline when he’s challenged. He strains as a blocker, inline and on the move, although his lack of length limits him at times.

Delp has an underwhelming college resume, but grading to the flashes shows an NFL player who can impact games as a receiver and blocker. He is a prime candidate to be a better pro than he was a college player.

4th Rd Jeremiah Wright
A two-year starter at Auburn, Wright was a fixture at right guard in former head coach Hugh Freeze’s balanced (gap and zone) scheme. A sixth-year prospect, he bounced between the offensive and defensive lines his first few seasons on The Plains before becoming a full-time starter over his junior and senior seasons.

Wright is big, strong and wants to move people off the ball on combos and base blocks. He looks to overpower anything in his way, which is understandable for a former defensive lineman, but he’s still learning to introduce more skill into his play. He works hard to stay square in pass pro but has shaky moments responding to savvy rushers.

Wright is still developing his recovery skills, but he is a heavy, physical presence who can anchor and end reps once he latches. His power and intangibles make him a worthy draft-and-develop guard in a gap scheme.

4th Rd Bryce Lance
A two-year starter at North Dakota State, Lance was the X wide receiver in offensive coordinator Dan Larson’s scheme. He was an instrumental part of the Bison’s 2024 national championship, recording a school-record 17 touchdown catches. His production declined in 2025, as he played with a first-year starting quarterback, but he was still impactful, especially on splash plays (eight catches of 40-plus yards).

Lance isn’t as heralded an NFL prospect as his older brother, but he showed steady development over the past two seasons with his rangy skill set. A “Freaks List” alum, he brings a vertical presence to the field with his acceleration and tracking skills. He is an average separator but fights for positioning, wins contested catches and high points well.

Lance is a good-sized athlete and natural hands-catcher who requires route polish but adjusts well to the ball with physicality and body control. He projects as a rookie backup who should eventually compete for a starting role.
