The Denver Broncos currently hold seven picks for the 2026 NFL draft — including the 30th overall pick in the first round — and the team is expected to receive two more selections this spring.
Denver holds all but one of its original picks, and the team gained a fourth-round pick from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for wide receiver Devaughn Vele last year.
The Broncos are also expected to gain a pair of seventh-round compensatory draft picks for losing running back Javonte Williams and punter Riley Dixon during NFL free agency in 2025.
Denver lost its original sixth-round pick when the team acquired defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers in a trade with the New York Jets in 2024. With that in mind, here’s a look at the team’s projected order of picks for April’s draft.
