Broncos' Draft Strategy: Top Priorities & Potential Steals

On April 6th, Sean Payton just handed over play-calling duties to new

offensive coordinator, Davis Webb, and that move has Broncos fans feeling good.

About the team's direction heading into 2026.

After trading away assets like Jalen Waddle, Denver's down to just a handful of

picks in the upcoming draft, starting with second round pick, 62.

They've got 4th round selections at picks 108 and 1-1-web, then 5th round pick 170 and 3-7.

Rounders at 246, 256, and 257.

Payton called out linebacker and running back as top priorities earlier,

but with the resigning of Tyler Bady and Julio McLaughlin, the focus shifts

to adding depth across the board, especially at safety, inside linebacker and offensive tackle.

Scouts are eyeing Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday as a top 60 guy who could

plug the run defense right away, Texas A&M tackle trade zoom for.

Offensive line competition as a potential day 3 steel, and TCU Safety Bud Clark,

with his 15 college picks to boost the secondary.

Limited ammo means smart shopping, but nabbing these targets could solidify the roster

and keep the momentum rolling into free agency and beyond.
