Broncos' 2026 Draft: Trotter, Trenches, & Upside

0:00On April 6th, the 2026 NFL draft is creeping up fast, and ESPN's Matt Miller just dropped a full 7-round mock focused on the Denver Broncos. After trading away their first and third round picks for wide-out Jaylen Waddle, Denver jumps in at pick 62 overall in Round 2. Miller has them snagging Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter right there to beef up the front 7. Trotter brings speed, quick reads, and that downhill thump, perfect for stuffing the run, especially with those NFL bloodlines running through his veins. Denver's defense is already top tier, but adding a missile like Trotter could lock it down even tighter, turning good games into shutouts and giving. The offense more breathing room. They keep building in rounds 4 and 5, with Texas A&M defensive tackle, Albert Regis, NC State tied in Justin Jolie, and Penn State offensive. Tackle Drew Shelton to shore up the trenches. Then it's Dark Rose in Round 7, LSU Edge Jack Piber, North Carolina corner, Thaddeus Dixon, and UCF Edge Nigelique Kelly, all high upside kids.
