0:00On April 6th, the Denver Broncos are gearing up for the draft after trading their first and third round picks to snack wide receiver Jalen Waddle, leaving them with seven solid selections to build depth. In this pro football focus mock draft simulator run, I dove into realistic trades based on recent NFL deals, avoiding too much 2027. Draft Capital, since teams are holding back on that class. Starting around three, they traded down from pick 62 with Cleveland to grab running back Mike Washington Jr. at 70, pairing him. Perfectly, with RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins for injury-proof depth. Then another move up to 96 was Seattle, landed defensive linemen Ray Sean Binney, boosting the rotation opposite sci-v on Jones and fixing run. Defense gaps. Fans and analysts love how these picks address real needs, like Binney's two-gapping strength over current options, and Washington's power running too. Ease Dobbins workload. At cornerback, trading Riley Moss opened slots for safety Bud Clark at 111, and corner to Cario Davis at 114, adding versatility and.

1:08Ball skills amid a crowded secondary. Downsfield tied in holes with Eli Raredin at 140 in Dalin Bentley at 170, both slot weapons to replace aging Evan Ingram. They added guard R. Maj Reed Adams at 178, first to tie a weapon Eli Hydenreich at 188, and Limebacker Jimmy Rollder at 2. 15 after a final trade-up, eyeing him as an Alex Singleton successor. Bronco's brass loves wheeling and dealing. Four trades last year, so expect similar action, maybe even player swaps to reshape this roster. Into a contender, you've been listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage.
