The Denver Broncos are in a very good spot heading into next year, and if they nail the 2026 NFL Draft, they could be Super Bowl champions.
In fact, the Broncos loss by just three without Bo Nix is encouraging even though it hurts. That should show fans how strong this team really is

Denver Broncos 2026 NFL Mock Draft: 3 Rounds
On days one and two of the NFL Draft, Denver holds picks 30, 62, and 94.
For this mock draft, we’ll be using the PFF Mock Draft Simulator.
First-Round Pick (30th Overall): Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
This selection isn’t possible very often on the PFF Mock Draft Simulator, but it’s one that seems realistic. Kenyon Sadiq is the best player on the board in this spot, but he also fits a clear need.
Sadiq brings great athleticism and receiving skills at 6’3” and 245 lbs, but his blocking is a bit underrated.
Adding Sadiq would allow him to play in that same role that Evan Engram did this past year. The problem is that Evan Engram is now 31 years old and has just 461 yards last year.
Outside of that, there’s not much of a need to add to this defense in round one. Instead, the goal should be to improve on offense as Denver ranked 15th in PPG scored this past year.
Second-Round Pick (62nd Overall): Chris Brazzell, WR, Tennessee
Going back to offense in round two, Chris Brazzell seems to be the most likely pick. Despite being able to get Brazzell at pick No. 62, the consensus big board has him slightly higher than that at 57.
Brazzell brings two important traits that an NFL team would be willing to bet on. Not only is Brazzell fast, but he measures in at 6’5” and 200 lbs (per PFF).
This past year, Courtland Sutton was great for this offense with 1,017 yards. Outside of him, the Broncos seem to have a mix of WR3 and WR4 caliber players.
Troy Franklin had a strong sophomore season, but Brazzell brings more upside to the table than he does. It would be extremely nice to have Franklin as a fantastic WR3 rather than a borderline WR2.
Going back to Sutton, he’s 30 years old right now, and Denver has an out in his contract in 2027 (per Spotrac). Brazzell has a similar frame to Sutton (6’4” and 216 lbs), so this move would also be for the future.
Third-Round Pick (94th Overall): Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech
With the last pick of this mock draft, it makes sense to have one selection on defense. It’s also worth noting that the consensus (#64) believes Jacob Rodriguez is a huge value at this point in the draft.
We talked about why this team needs a linebacker in our last TWSN Broncos mock draft.
“However, getting a replacement for Alex Singleton, who’s now 32 years old and set to hit free agency, would be ideal.”
Adding Rodriguez to an already strong Broncos team would be a great move for this franchise.
Overall, getting Sadiq at 30 should be the dream scenario for the Denver Broncos, and they should even consider trading up for him. After Sadiq, this mock draft went very well when Denver was able to grab Brazzell and Rodriguez as well.
