Dallen Bentley enters the NFL conversation with almost no wind at his back, and the D+ sentiment grade reflects exactly that reality. As the 256th overall pick — the final selection of the 2026 draft — Bentley carries the statistical burden of his draft slot more than anything else: players taken this late rarely crack a 53-man roster, and the current narrative treats his four-year rookie scale contract as exactly what it is, a low-profile depth gamble with practice squad ceiling written all over it. There is no performance track record to argue against that framing, since Bentley arrives as a true rookie with nothing yet on tape at the NFL level, so public perception and on-field production are essentially locked in the same modest tier. Denver's offseason activity adds important context here — the Broncos shipped first-, third-, and fourth-round draft capital to Miami in a blockbuster trade, a move that signals the franchise is operating with championship-level urgency given its 14-3 record and standing as the AFC's top seed, which only shrinks the margin for unproven depth pieces to earn meaningful snaps. Additional signings at receiver, running back, and the secondary in recent weeks suggest Denver is methodically filling out its roster, and Bentley is simply the latest name added to a long list of low-cost fliers. Until he forces his way into training camp conversations, the narrative stays firmly in long-shot territory.
