In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos have been connected to nearly every first-round offensive weapon. Running backs, tight ends, and wide receivers have all been mocked to the Broncos 20th overall.
In Mel Kiper's latest 2025 mock draft for ESPN, the Broncos select Tetairoa McMillan, an Arizona wide receiver. Although the Broncos have often been linked to running backs and tight ends in mock drafts, Kiper has them bringing in one of the top receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
McMillan has been a draft slider post-combine. He didn't test, and there were palpable concerns about his speed and athleticism. However, he ran at his pro day and had some eye-catching numbers.
When McMillan ran on his pro day, he was timed in the 40-yard dash at 4.48 and 4.55 seconds. The disparity in times is due to unofficial timekeeping. But the speed is more than enough for McMillan's draft stock.
McMillan is listed at 6'4'' and 213 pounds and his 40-yard dash time is more than fast enough for someone his size. Denver bringing in McMillan to pair with Courtland Sutton and Evan Engram makes an intriguing receiving group.
McMillan coming to Denver would be a fascinating selection. With Sutton's contract extension on the horizon, McMillan could be his replacement if Sutton leaves.
Between Sutton, McMillan, and Engram, the Broncos would have one of the more intriguing receiving groups in the NFL.
With Kiper mocking McMillan to Denver, the Broncos would be selecting one of the top receivers in the draft after he falls down the board. The 2025 NFL Draft starts on Thursday, April 24th, and ends on Saturday, April 26th.
