- Broncos’ order of picks for 2024 NFL draft
Following the conclusion of their 2023 season, the Denver Broncos will now turn their attention toward the 2024 NFL offseason.
Up first is NFL free agency in March ( and the Broncos have several notable in-house free agents ), followed by the NFL draft in April. Although free agency comes first, we're taking a quick look ahead to the draft because we now know that Denver will select 12th overall in the first round.

If we have tracked trades correctly, the Broncos currently hold six picks to use in the 2024 NFL draft.
Denver does not hold a second-round pick following the trade for coach Sean Payton last year. The team's exact order of picks beyond the third round is still to be determined once the NFL hands out compensatory picks .
Round 1: own pick ( 12th overall )
Round 3: via NO ( Sean Payton trade )
Round 4: via MIA ( Bradley Chubb trade )
Round 5: own pick
Round 5: via NYJ ( Jake Marin trade )
Round 6: via SF ( Randy Gregory trade )
We won't know the Broncos' official order of picks until the NFL confirms the draft order later this month, but here's our best effort at breaking down all the trades:
-
Denver's original 2nd-round pick went to the Saints as part of the Payton trade.
-
The Broncos' original 3rd-round pick went to the Seahawks as part of the Riley Moss draft-day trade in 2023.
-
Denver's original 4th-round pick was traded to the Jets as part of the Jake Martin trade in 2022. Denver got a 5th-round pick from NY in the deal.
-
The Broncos got a 4th-round pick from the Dolphins as part of the Bradley Chubb trade in 2022.
-
Denver's original 6th-round pick went to the Rams as part of the Kenny Young trade in 2021.
-
The Broncos got a 6th-round pick from the 49ers as part of the Randy Gregory trade last season.
-
Denver got a 7th-round pick back from San Francisco , however, the Broncos sent a 7th-round pick to L.A. as part of the Young trade three years ago, then they traded a 7th-round pick to the Saints for kicker Wil Lutz last year, leaving them without a last-round pick.
Because of the number of trades Denver has made, it's not exactly clear which picks are original and which are from other teams, but it looks like the Broncos should have six selections before making any additional trades. The 2024 NFL draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27.
