The Denver Broncos are heading into the 2026 NFL Draft with significant challenges, having traded away their first-round pick and lacking a selection in the third round. They will pick late in the second round at No. 62 and have two fourth-round picks. General Manager George Paton, who has a history of aggressive trades, faces pressure to make wise selections to bolster a strong roster that tied a franchise record with 14 victories last season. Despite the limited draft capital, the Broncos are expected to seek players who can contribute immediately, especially as they aim for a Super Bowl run.
