59. Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix

Bowers caught 64 passes for 680 yards and seven touchdowns in his second season. His yards per game fell from 70.2 as a rookie to 56.7, but he averaged nearly the same number of yards per reception (10.6).

Bowers' production undoubtedly suffered from the inconsistent play the Raiders got at quarterback on top of his persistent knee problems.

Executives, coaches and scouts once again ranked Bowers as the No. 1 tight end in the league as part of the annual poll from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

"As far as route running, separation, zone instincts, yards-after-catch ability combination — he's better than the field in those areas," one coordinator said. "A down year won't change that."

Beyond being healthy heading into the 2026 campaign, Bowers should benefit from all of the changes to the Vegas offense. Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza are a big upgrade at quarterback over Geno Smith, and they will have time to throw with Tyler Linderbaum anchoring the line.

Another 1,000-yard season looks like a strong possibility for the 2024 first-round pick.

Nix's Year 2 was a bit of a mixed bag.

The Broncos signal-caller threw for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, numbers that were boosted by him attempting an NFL-high 612 passes. He averaged a somewhat pedestrian 6.4 yards per attempt and finished 15th in QBR (58.3) at ESPN.com.

Nix was also somewhat up and down in Denver's divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills. He went 26-of-46 for 279 yards, three touchdowns and one pick.

This season should provide the strongest evidence yet as to whether Nix is the guy to lead the organization forward.

The Broncos are third in Bleacher Report's NFL power rankings after retaining many of the key players from their run to the AFC title game. Acquiring Jaylen Waddle should give their aerial attack a big boost as well.

The pieces are there for Nix to take a big step forward. If he delivers more of the same, Denver could have a dilemma on its hands.
