After acquiring wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in a trade with the Miami Dolphins last month, the Denver Broncos now hold seven picks in the 2026 NFL draft.
The trade came at a high cost as Denver agreed to send picks in the first (No. 30), third (No. 94) and fourth (No. 130) rounds to Miami in exchange for Waddle and a fourth-round pick (No. 111). After that, the Broncos dropped from holding nine picks down to seven, and they will not make a pick in the first round (barring another trade).
Denver’s first pick is currently slated to be 62nd overall in the second round. The Broncos do not hold a third-round pick, but with a pair of fourth-round selections, that could make it easier to trade up. Here’s a look at the team’s complete order of picks ahead of the draft.

The extra fourth-round pick was acquired from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for wide receiver Devaughn Vele last year. Denver also received a pair of seventh-round compensatory picks after losing running back Javonte Williams and punter Riley Dixon during free agency last spring.
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. After letting JFM walk in free agency this year, Denver will likely receive a fourth-round comp pick for next year’s draft.
The 2026 NFL draft will be held in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
