The Denver Broncos nearly made it to the Super Bowl had it not been for a late injury to QB Bo Nix. The Broncos have built a solid roster through free agency and the NFL Draft. The organization pulled off a trade coming into the Draft to send a first and third, as well as swap fourth-round picks, with the Miami Dolphins in exchange for WR Jaylen Waddle.
Denver also traded out of their second-round pick when they acquired a third-round and a sixth-round pick from the Buffalo Bills. Under this regime, the Broncos have shown that they’re not afraid to move up and down the board as they see fit to target positions of need. When all was said and done, the Denver Broncos came out of the 2026 NFL Draft with seven total player selections.
2026 NFL Draft Picks
3-66 – Tyler Onyedim, DT, Texas A&M
4-108 – Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington
4-111 – Kage Casey, OT, Boise State
5-152 – Justin Joly, TE, NC State
7-246 – Miles Scott, S, Illinois
7-256 – Dallen Bentley, TE, Utah
7-257 – Red Murdock, LB, Buffalo
In closing, time will tell whether the Denver Broncos can develop their 2026 NFL Draft picks. Looking back, it’s clear that they had a plan and stuck to it. Emphasis was placed on the trenches at defensive tackle and offensive tackle. Further, they also doubled up at tight end. If the Broncos can make another deep run into the NFL Playoffs, then they will do so without first or second-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.
