The Denver Broncos opted to let defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers walk during NFL free agency, and that decision could net the team an extra pick in the 2027 NFL draft.
Franklin-Myers left Denver to sign a three-year, $63 million contract with the Tennessee Titans that averages $21 million per season. The Broncos seem unlikely to hand out that kind of deal this spring, so JFM's departure could result in Denver being awarded a compensatory pick next spring.
OverTheCap.com estimates that JFM's big contract could result in a fourth-round comp pick in 2027. OTC previously predicted that losing running back Javonte Williams and punter Riley Dixon would net the team seventh-round comp picks in 2026.
So far, the Broncos have not traded any of their original 2027 seventh-round draft picks (but that could obviously change). Denver does hold an extra seventh-round pick from the Devaughn Vele trade with the New Orleans Saints.
So, as things stand now, the Broncos are currently slated to hold nine picks in the 2027 NFL draft — just like they do for the 2026 draft.
