At last, draft day has arrived.
With the 2026 NFL draft set to begin tonight, it’s time for our final seven-round mock draft for the Denver Broncos. After acquiring wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in a trade with the Miami Dolphins last month, Denver’s first pick in the draft is scheduled to be No. 62 overall in the second round on Friday evening.
With that second-round pick, our mock has the Broncos adding Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers (6-3, 239 pounds), who showed off his athleticism at the NFL combine earlier this offseason. Up next, in the fourth round, is Missouri defensive lineman Chris McClellan (6-3, 313 pounds), who will help beef up the defensive line following the departure of John Franklin-Myers.
Also in the fourth round, Denver adds Washington running back Jonah Coleman (5-8, 220 pounds), who can immediately take over RB3 duties as a capable receiver and pass blocker. In the fifth round, our mock sends Alabama linebacker Justin Jefferson (6-0, 223 pounds) to the Broncos. Jefferson totaled 85 tackles, five pass breakups, three sacks, one interception and one forced fumble last fall.
To close out the draft, Denver makes three selections in the seventh round: Wake Forest offensive tackle Fa’alili Fa’amoe (6-5, 311 pounds), Ohio State safety Lorenzo Styles (6-0, 194 pounds) and UCLA guard Garrett DiGiorgio (6-6, 319 pounds). The Broncos will wrap up their late selections with developmental prospects.
