Hit that subscribe button so you don't miss future mock drafts in our live Broncos focus draft show on April 23rd. We have tons more coming up leading into the draft, but without further to do, let's dive in to my Broncos mock draft 1.0. And with the 30th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Kenyans Sadiq tight end organ now. There's a good chance that Kenyans Sadiq is not here at this point after having an incredible combine where he ran blazing fast and marked in at good height and weight for what people

were expecting. But if he is here, this is the easy choice for the Broncos. They get that instant playmaker. They get their tight end of the future and a guy that is played with Bonix, albeit only for a season. But he loves Bonix and I'm sure Bonix would love the type of weapon that he is. This is a game changing sort of player that the Broncos could get at pick 30. But like I said, they might have to trade up and even if they do trade up to get Kenyans Sadiq, I personally think it would be an exceptional move for the Broncos. Now Sadiq right now isn't necessarily an all around tight end, but he is a better blocker than you expect. And for this year, he would actually pair very well with Evan Ingram is having two jokers on the field and then he would take over that full time joker role after Evan Ingram's contract expires after the 2026 season. So that's why I like Kenyans Sadiq in the first round. And in the second round, the Denver Broncos select Caleb Lomu lineman from Utah. Caleb Lomu is very raw, but very talented as an offensive lineman.

He can play inside. He can play outside and he is the Broncos future at likely one of the tackle positions. He could play inside this year if needed, but the Broncos don't need this pick right now. This is an investment into the future. How about this? A raw offensive lineman that's extremely talented from Utah. Who does that remind you of? And before we get to the Broncos, third round pick, like this video, subscribe for all of your Broncos content in free agency, the draft and once a season rolls around. And before we even get to the third round pick for the Broncos, they have made a trade. They have traded their fourth round pick that they got in the Devon Bayley trade their third round pick right now. And one of their seventh round picks to move up into the end of the second round to select Jacob Rodriguez, linebacker, Texas tech, Jacob Rodriguez. It is an extremely productive and an extremely athletic linebacker. He even received hype for the Heisman last year and there's also a chance that he does

not make it to this pick in the draft because of how good of an off season and how good of a season he had last year. But the Broncos make a move up when he's still available to get this talented linebacker, a game changer who not only makes tackles, but gets interceptions, forces, fumbles and scores, touchdowns. He started his career as a quarterback, so don't be surprised if Sean puts them on the offensive side of the ball occasionally. But he is the future inside linebacker for the Denver Broncos. And with the Broncos second fourth round pick in the draft, they select Malachi Fields wide receiver from Notre Dame. This is a Sean Peyton type of wide receiver six foot four two hundred and eighteen pounds has incredible height and that's what Sean Peyton loves in receivers. He's raw, but has the ability to continue to develop and the Broncos take a flyer on him. There's a chance he might not be here in the fourth round. But what's interesting about this wide receivers draft is there's so many different rankings of these receivers where a good receiver could fall, a guy that you expect to fall could

be gone earlier in the draft and Malachi Fields is a guy that I think the Broncos would have significant interest in because he fits the exact profile of what Sean Peyton likes in a receiver. And in the fifth round, the Broncos select Bryson Eason, defensive lineman out of Tennessee. He's only six feet tall, but he has the size everywhere else, three hundred and sixteen pounds. And this is a guy that could potentially develop into JFM. Now you're picking him in the fifth round, so you don't expect that right away and you don't expect that over his career, but he has the physical tools. And that's something that the Broncos love when they're looking at defensive lineman. He was a six year player at Tennessee, so he's 24 years old. That's why that development might not take as long, but the Broncos take a shot at his talent and draft him in the fifth round. And to round out the draft, the Broncos go to Cario Davis cornerback out of Washington. He is six foot four and the Broncos take a shot at this corner because of just the physical ability he has. He's a two year starter at Washington and has the tools to potentially develop as a number

two cornerback. And it's a great pick. Let me know what you think of that Broncos draft. Would you be satisfied with that? Do you want them to make other moves? Who do you want them to pick?
