As the NFL’s offseason calendar<\/a> turns to April, mock draft season will now really begin to heat up.<\/p>\n

In their four-round 2026 NFL mock draft<\/a> for A to Z Sports earlier this month, Ryan Roberts, AJ Schulte and Travis May predicted the Denver Broncos<\/a>‘ first three picks. (The Broncos do not hold selections in the first or third rounds<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

In the second round of the mock, Denver’s first pick of the draft is Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday.<\/p>\n

“At around 6-4 and 240 pounds, Golday is an extremely athletic linebacker on the second level,” Roberts wrote for A to Z Sports<\/a>. “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.”<\/p>\n

After that, the Broncos add an edge rusher and a tight end in the fourth round.<\/p>\n
