As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the Denver Broncos are reflecting on an unconventional offseason that prioritized retaining players from their AFC Championship roster. The highlight of their offseason was the trade for wide receiver Jalen Waddle, which is expected to significantly boost the team's offensive production. Although the Broncos lack a first-round pick this year, they hold six draft picks that they plan to use to build depth rather than seek immediate starters. General Manager George Paton indicated a strategic focus on developing contributors, which aligns with the Broncos' recent moves to keep most of their free agent signings within the existing roster. Additionally, Broncos legend Aqib Talib hinted at the possibility of another major move during the draft, raising excitement among fans as the team seeks upgrades at several key positions, including tight end, running back, and linebacker.
