Denver Broncos draft picks, grades for selections in NFL Draft

[ASFN Admin]

The Denver Broncos own one pick in the first three rounds in the 2026 NFL Draft this weekend.

Denver traded its first-round pick (and more) for Jaylen Waddle to solve one need, but the Broncos could also further upgrade at receiver.

Defensively, the core remains intact heading into 2026. Linebacker could become a need based on salary cap crunch in the next year or two.

Here's the Broncos' picks, selections and grades for the NFL Draft.
