After agreeing to trade wide receiver Devaughn Vele to the New Orleans Saints, the Denver Broncos now hold seven picks in the 2026 NFL draft (and a few more comp picks could be on the way).
The Broncos acquired a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Saints in exchange for Vele. In addition to that extra fourth-round selection next year, Denver also holds all but one of its original picks for 2026.

The Broncos lost their original sixth-round pick when the team acquired defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers in a trade with the New York Jets in 2024. Here’s a look at the team’s current order of picks after the Vele trade.

Denver will also be a candidate to receive late-round compensatory draft picks in 2026, but that won’t be finalized until next year. Next year’s NFL draft will be held in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
