After losing two net picks<\/a> to acquire wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, the Denver Broncos<\/a> are now down to seven selections in the 2026 NFL draft<\/a>, and they don’t hold a pick in the first round.<\/p>\n Next year will be a different scenario.<\/p>\n The Broncos have not traded any of their picks in the 2027 NFL draft, and they hold an extra seventh-round pick from the 2025\u00a0Devaughn Vele trade<\/a>\u00a0with the\u00a0New Orleans Saints<\/a>.<\/p>\n Denver is also expected to receive a fourth-round compensatory pick<\/a> for losing John Franklin-Myers during free agency, and OverTheCap.com<\/a> also estimates a seventh-round comp pick for losing safety P.J. Locke.<\/p>\n That gives the team ten projected picks in next year’s draft.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
