Broncos Mock Draft Surprise: Edge Rusher at 30?

0:00On March 4th, in a recent 2026 NFL mock-draft from the draft network, Analyst Keith Sanchez projects the Denver Broncos grabbing Auburn, past Russia-Keldrick Falk, with the number 30 overall pick. This choice stands out because the Broncos already boasts plenty of talent at outside linebacker, including Jonathan Cooper, Nick Bonito, Jonah Ellis, and Quay Robinson. All under contract. Don Dre Attilman also looks set to return as an exclusive rights-free agent, making another first-round edge-rusher seem like a luxury, unless Denver plans to trade someone away. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads over this projection, as it bucks the expectation for the Broncos to target other needs like the offensive line or secondary. As mock-drafts heat up leading into the real thing, keep an eye on how Denver's roster shakes out this off-season, it could signal big moves ahead.
