Looking like a goof there, Bluejay.
I think he will.
Here's the NFL.com draft analysis on Pat Bryant:
Draft Projection
Round 6
Overview
Three-year starter with ascending production and the potential to play inside and outside. Bryant has good size but lacks suddenness and pure vertical gas. What he lacks in explosiveness he makes up for with intelligent releases, physicality inside the route and elite ball skills. Bryant has average play strength but musters it all when competing for the catch. His body control and focus put him in position to win fade routes but his high-point talent often seals the deal. The ball skills are superior, but he needs to prove he can find ways to uncover against NFL press coverage to become more than a downfield target with backup value.
Strengths
Displayed rapid improvement over the last three seasons.
Clever at creating route leverage out of his release.
Does a nice job of reading cornerback’s hips and feet in his routes.
Uses frame and hand work to create separation from tight man coverage.
Competitive and urgent in fighting for contested catches.
Excellent body control, positioning and focus on fades.
High-points throws with full extension and deadens feet near the boundary.
Weaknesses
Production took a noticeable dip against his best competition.
Lacks acceleration and top-end speed to blow by coverage.
Doesn’t have burst to gain real separation out of turns.
Had problems with bad focus drops in 2022 and 2023.
Offers below-average run-after-catch ability.
Could use additional strain in his run blocking on the perimeter.

Living in Denver and with the Broncos as my second team after the Bears, this makes me very very happy. Looking forward to many Bo Nix to Bryant TDs in the seasons to come!
