7-round NFL mock draft: Broncos reinforce defense, add sparks to offense

[ASFN Admin]

In his recent seven-round 2026 NFL mock draft for Pro Football Sports Network, Alec Elijah has the Denver Broncos adding four playmakers on offense and five reinforcements on defense.

In the first round of his mock draft, Elijah projects Ohio State defensive lineman Kayden McDonald (6-3, 326 pounds) landing in Denver at pick No. 30.

"Kayden McDonald brings the power, technique, and instincts to make an immediate impact on Denver’s defense," Elijah wrote for PFSN. "With overwhelming point-of-contact power and enough athleticism to hold up across multiple downs, McDonald projects as a three-down contributor in the NFL."

McDonald had a breakout season last fall with 65 tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup in 14 games. Fans can view Elijah's full mock draft on PFSN, and the Broncos' picks below.
