Broncos Draft: Trench Warriors for Defensive Line

0:00On April 20th, the Denver Broncos let John Franklin Myers walk in free agency, so they're eyeing the 2026 NFL draft to beef up there. Defensive line depth, Zach Allen at 28 is their top in guy coming back, with DJ, Jones at 31 holding down nose tackle, and Malcolm Roach adding solid back up. Syvian Jones and Iyoma Uwa Zareke look like the frontrunners to step into that starting defensive in spot right now. They don't have first or third round picks, but Denver holds the 60 second overall in round two, plus 108 and 111 in round four, that positions them to snag some high upside lineman without trading up too far. Fans and analysts are buzzing about how this could transform the front four, especially with younger guys needing reps to build stamina. The team's already got good pieces, but adding fresh talent means more pressure of front and fewer injuries down the stretch. Gouts are high on prospects like Ohio State's massive Caden McDonald at 6 foot 2, 326 pounds,

1:02or Florida's towering Caleb, Banks, whose 6 foot 6 and 327 despite some foot issues. Then there's George's Christian Miller with his run stuffing stats, South Carolina Captain Nick Barrett and Missouri Sack Machine Chris, McClellan all fitting their second or fourth round window. The draft kicks off this week in Pittsburgh, round one Thursday evening, rounds two and three Friday and the rest Saturday. Keep an eye on how Denver maneuvers to lock in that next wave of trench warriors.
