Broncos Draft Tyler Onyedim: Powerful DL with Upside

0:00On April 25, the Denver Broncos made a slick move on Friday, trading back from Round 2 to pick number 66 overall with the Buffalo Bills. And they snagged Buffalo's pick, number 182 in the deal. As 66, they grabbed Texas A&M defensive lineman Tyler Oni Adam, a name that caught a lot of fans off guard as their first draft choice. On Yadam stands 6 foot 3 ½ inches tall, weighs 292 pounds with long 34 inch arms. He's been four years at Iowa State before transferring to Texas A&M for his senior year where he turned 23 in May. Last season in 2025, he blew up with 48 tackles, 2.5 sex, and 8.5 tackles for loss. Fans are buzzing because Oni Adam brings serious upside. He's got the size, power, and athleticism to play multiple spots on the line from strong side, to weak in any front. His quick first step turns into real drive. He's got range across the field, and that spin move of his is elite, keeping him tight and explosive. That said, he's got work

1:06to do on his lower body power to anchor better against the run, and his hand technique can be all over the place sometimes. Sharp, sometimes sloppy. His run defense moves knee polishing too, so quicker blockers might wash him out early. Overall, he slots right into Denver's scheme, battling guys like Iyoma Uazurike, Sivion Jones, and Jordan Jackson for a roster spot next year. He's an instant upgrade over Jackson, and could carve out a bigger role down the line if he keeps climbing like he did in college. Keep an eye on this one.
