With the 2026 NFL draft drawing closer, ESPN's Matt Miller recently released a seven-round mock draft.
After trading their first- and third-round picks to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, the Denver Broncos' first pick in this year's draft is No. 62 overall in the second round. Miller has them using that selection to add Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter.
"Denver's defense is elite, but there's room for a downhill thumper," Miller wrote for ESPN. "Trotter has NFL bloodlines and the speed to make a huge impact in the run game, where he's a missile with quick read-and-react skills."
After that, the Broncos add a defensive lineman and a tight end in the fourth round and an offensive tackle in the fifth round. Denver then closes out the draft with a trio of seventh-round dart throws.
The 2026 NFL draft will be held in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
