After acquiring wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in a trade<\/a> with the Miami Dolphins<\/a> last month, the\u00a0Denver Broncos<\/a>\u00a0now hold seven picks in the 2026 NFL draft.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The extra fourth-round pick was acquired from the New Orleans Saints<\/a> in exchange for wide receiver Devaughn Vele<\/a> last year. Denver also received a pair of seventh-round compensatory picks<\/a> after losing running back Javonte Williams and punter Riley Dixon during free agency last spring.<\/p>\n

The Broncos lost their original sixth-round pick when the team acquired defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers\u00a0in a trade<\/a>\u00a0with the\u00a0New York Jets<\/a>\u00a0in 2024. After\u00a0letting JFM walk<\/a>\u00a0in free agency this year, Denver will likely receive a\u00a0fourth-round comp pick<\/a>\u00a0for next year’s draft.<\/p>\n
