Broncos order of picks in 2026 NFL draft
After clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs and securing a bye for the wild-card round, the Denver Broncos have also clinched a bottom-eight pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.
The Broncos currently hold seven picks for April's draft, but that number could grow in the coming months.
Denver holds all but one of its original selections, 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 seventh-round compensatory draft pick for losing running back Javonte Williams in free agency, and the team would receive a third-round comp pick if Vance Joseph lands a head coach job during the offseason.
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.
