As the NFL’s offseason calendar turns to April, mock draft season will now really begin to heat up.
In their four-round 2026 NFL mock draft for A to Z Sports earlier this month, Ryan Roberts, AJ Schulte and Travis May predicted the Denver Broncos‘ first three picks. (The Broncos do not hold selections in the first or third rounds.)

In the second round of the mock, Denver’s first pick of the draft is Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday.
“At around 6-4 and 240 pounds, Golday is an extremely athletic linebacker on the second level,” Roberts wrote for A to Z Sports. “With a ton of experience playing in space, he should add an immediate boost in subpackage situations. How quickly Golday can show he can play as a stacked linebacker more consistently will determine his upside early in his NFL career.”
After that, the Broncos add an edge rusher and a tight end in the fourth round.
