Denver Broncos general manager George Paton just received some extra draft capital.
Each offseason, the NFL awards compensatory draft picks to teams that lost more than they gained during free agency the prior year. This offseason, the league has awarded the Broncos two comp picks, both in the seventh round.

The NFL did not reveal the players Denver lost in order to receive the comp picks, but OverTheCap.com previously projected the team would receive picks for losing running back Javonte Williams and punter Riley Dixon in 2025.
After receiving the two comp picks, the Broncos now hold nine selections in this year's NFL draft.

The Broncos lost their original sixth-round pick when the team acquired defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers in a trade with the New York Jets in 2024.
