Post-Draft Outlook: A closer look at the Broncos' picks: Round 2/64 -- Richard Quinn, TE, 6-4, 260, North Carolina...Few players used the months before the draft better than Quinn. He had a low grade after catching only 12 passes in college, but impressed at the Combine and workouts and landed in the second round. The Broncos like his hands despite the lack of production in the passing game in college, and along with Daniel Graham, Quinn can provide a good blocking punch at tight end. - by The Sports Xchange
