Denver Broncos draft picks tracker: Updated list of 2026 selections, next pick predictions

It was a mostly quiet draft at the top for the Broncos after their big leap in 2025, as they were the last team to make their first selection and had only one pick between the first two days of the draft.

While Denver made a slew of picks on Day 3, the number of instant-impact players from this class could be thin.

Third-round TE Tyler Onyedim could beef up the Broncos’ defensive line long-term, while Sean Payton got himself a compact wrecking ball of a running back in Washington’s Jonah Coleman. That duo highlights a class that otherwise is comprised of late-round fliers for a team that already traded its first-round pick for Jaylen Waddle in March.

Broncos NFL Draft needs

• Running back: J.K. Dobbins is back, having inked a big-money extension that saw his salary quadrupled. The 27-year-old was on pace for a career-best season before he was cut down by a Lisfranc injury. He and RJ Harvey struck up quite the partnership during their time in Denver’s backfield, but they both offer similar attributes. A hulking third-down back capable of absorbing — and dishing out — punishment could be appealing.
• Tight end: Evan Engram will be 32 years old at the start of the season. His numbers plateaued markedly, even compared to a fairly underwhelming 2024 campaign. It might make sense to prepare for the future in the tight end slot, especially with prospects like Eli Stowers and Oscar Delp expected to dip into the second round.
