In his latest 2026 NFL mock draft for CBS Sports, Ryan Wilson has the Denver Broncos trading out of the first round.
Wilson's mock draft projects the New York Jets will pick Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey with the second overall pick and USC wide receiver Makai Lemon with the 16th overall pick. After that, Wilson has New York trading back into the first round to select Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at pick No. 30.
Wilson published his mock before the Jets traded for Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith, but that might not change much. New York is likely still looking for a long-term QB in the 2026 NFL draft, and Simpson could be the target.
In exchange for their first-round pick, it seems that Wilson projects Denver receiving a second-round pick (No. 33 overall) and either a 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 103) or a 2027 third-round pick. It's a hypothetical offer, but such a scenario might be enticing for the Broncos to move down just three spots.
After receiving two compensatory picks before NFL free agency, Denver now holds nine selections in the 2026 NFL draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
