The Denver Broncos are preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft, armed with seven selections over the three-day event. This year marks the third time in five drafts that the team will not hold a first-round pick.
Earlier in the offseason, Denver traded their No. 30 overall pick to the Miami Dolphins. This significant trade brought wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to Denver, fulfilling a key objective to acquire a dynamic playmaker for quarterback Bo Nix.
