Broncos Trade Talks: Surplus Talent for Draft Picks

0:00On April 22nd, the Denver Broncos head into the 2026 NFL Draft, which is one pick in the top 100 after trading their first and third rounders to Miami for wide receiver Jalen Waddle. That leaves them thin on early selections, but their roster is stacked deep, so eyes are on potential trades to flip surplus talent for more picks. Teams love Draft Aid deals, and the Broncos have already grabbed Titan Adam Trautman and defensive lineman John Franklin Myers that way. Now, with a win now vibe around quarterback Bonix, they might shot from strength to build the future. Cornerbacks Riley Moss and Jaquan McMillian stand out as trade bait. Both are starters on the top ranked defense, but they're in their final contract years, and rookie Jade Baron needs snaps. The team might keep one, move the other, especially with Pat Sertain locked in long term. At wide receiver, things got crowded, post Waddle. Troy Franklin lost his starting spot, and Marvin Mim's junior sits in his last deal year as a gadget guy and all pro-returner.

1:04GM George Patton says no trades, but depth like this could net picks if the offer's right. Back up quarterback Jared Stidham rounds out the list, with rumors swirling for QB Hungary squads. Bottom line, these moves make sense for reloading without gutting the core watch, if Broncos GM pulls the trigger to stack that draft board higher.
