Widely projected as a Day 2 pick last spring, Franklin ended up falling to the top of the fourth round despite putting up 2,274 receiving yards and 23 TDs over his final two seasons at Oregon. His thin frame (6-2, 176) was a major concern, with a 4.41 40 being good by most standards but not so much so for a player his size. Franklin didn't do much to alleviate those doubts during his rookie season in Denver, reaching 50 percent snap share just twice and finishing with some of the worst per-target numbers in the league (52.8 percent catch rate, 5.0 YPT, 9.4 YPR). Courtland Sutton, meanwhile, had arguably the best season of his career despite a slow start, with 2023 second-round pick Marvin Mims coming on strong in December to give rookie QB Bo Nix a second weapon. The Broncos didn't add much at WR this offseason but did sign TE Evan Engram, which likely leaves Franklin to compete for the third or fourth spot on the depth chart in an offense where the No. 3 role may not entail many targets.
