Broncos Snag Lawson in Mock Draft

0:00On April 4th, Keith Sanchez dropped his latest 2026 NFL mock draft, and he's got the Denver Broncos snagging Alabama linebacker Deontay. Lawson at pick number 62 overall, their first shot in the second round. That spot opens up after the Broncos traded for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, wiping out their first and third round picks to go all in on offense. Sanchez figures Lawson bring serious athleticism in depth to the linebacker crew, turning that defense into something fierce. As six foot three and 226 pounds, he racked up 283 tackles, 6.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two recoveries over his spinal four seasons with the Crimson Tide. The team now sits with seven total picks heading into the draft in Pittsburgh from April 23rd to 25th. Lawson sliding to them could lock in a dynamic front seven, keeping Broncos fans hyped for the rebuild.
