Broncos | Keilan Robinson visits Monday Fri Apr 12, 06:37 PM
Texas RB Keilan Robinson had an official visit with the Denver Broncos Monday, April 8, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Robinson is a late-round or priority free agent, but he's got upside as a dual-purpose back. He's got instincts as a runner, but Robinson can stand out on screen passes where his moves and speed can make defenders look silly. Robinson is bounce-happy, and he too often looks to go outside instead of sticking his foot in the ground and plugging it up the middle when things are cramped. That won't work in the pros. |
Broncos | Dallin Holker talks with Broncos Fri Apr 12, 06:30 PM
Colorado State TE Dallin Holker had an official visit with the Denver Broncos earlier this week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Holker is a late-round prospect with a nose for the end zone. He's not Trey McBride (a former CSU star), but Holker is a smoother-than-you-expect athlete who knows how to find the soft spot in a zone. We like him after the catch, and even though he's not a burner he can get by defenders who underestimate his athletic ability. The Broncos need a playmaking tight end, and if they wait until Day 3 of the draft Holker should be an option. |

North Carolina WR Devontez Walker is scheduled to have official visits with the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets before the 2024 NFL Draft. He has also had virtual meetings with the Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Walker has a fine size/speed combination, and he was a favorite target of QB Drake Maye in college. He's a speed merchant, but Walker needs to learn the full route tree to maximize his potential in the pros. He's likely to be a Day-2 pick in the draft. |

Jets | NYJ, Jordan Travis to meet Fri Apr 12, 04:46 PM
Florida State QB Jordan Travis is scheduled to have an official visit with the New York Jets this weekend, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Travis is an interesting developmental quarterback. He's got pocket presence and a quick release, but Travis needs time to develop. Travis can move, and he's a threat to take off and run. We like his ability to distribute, but he's been too much of a 'see-it, throw-it' guy at this point. Staying on time, throwing with anticipation, and staying healthy (he's a smaller prospect) are the biggest concerns with Travis. |

University of Oregon WR Troy Franklin recently met with the New York Jets, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Franklin met with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, April 12, and has already visited the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots this spring.
| Footballguys view: Do not forget about Franklin. There's the 'big 3' at receiver, and those guys should go in the top-10. However, Franklin is a first-round receiver too and he can make plays. We like his versatility to play outside or from the slot. While not the largest receiver (175 pounds), Franklin can get down the field in a hurry. |

| Footballguys view: McConkey is drawing some Cooper Kupp comparisons in the pre-draft process. He's fun to watch on film, and McConkey was a favorite player of our very own Cecil Lammey down at the Senior Bowl earlier this year. He's fast, quick, and McConkey is competitive after the catch. He's not Kupp, but we could see him as a plus-Marvin Mims (Broncos) player for any team interested. |

Texas WR Xavier Worthy is visiting the Indianapolis Colts Friday, April 11.
| Footballguys view: Worthy can flat out fly, and that's just one of the reasons teams are interested in him. Most see Worthy as a second-round pick with upside. The Colts have a fine receiver in Michael Pittman, and we appreciate players like Alec Pierce. However, adding Worthy would give them elite speed to take the top off the defense and open things up for other players. |
