DRAFT TRACKER 2026

Ryan profiles as a combination tight end with good size, adequate strength and plenty of aggression. He centers his blocks and works with inside hands, although he’s substantially more effective versus LBs/DBs in space than he is at duking it out in-line. He could use more polish as a route-runner to help create cleaner throwing windows, but he has the foot quickness to improve in that area. His hands are OK, but he needs to do a better job of securing catches through contact at the next level. Ryan has average speed but pretty good flow with the ball in his hands. His willingness as a blocker and ability to handle special-teams duties earn him a late-round projection.

With just three catches over his first two seasons at Utah, Bentley’s 48 grabs in 2025 came as a surprise. He has the build of an in-line tight end but mostly uses his size to occupy defenders instead of digging into blocks. A heavy portion of his catches came against zone, so he will need to refine his route running and contested-catch technique to prove he can win on his own. Bentley’s NFL future could depend on his ability to play with more tenacity and technique as a run blocker since his catch production from 2025 might not translate.
