As expected, the Denver Broncos ended up with two seventh round compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. Coincidentally, they will be the final two picks in the draft. For now, Mr. Irrelevant is heading to Denver in late April.
The Broncos received the 256th and 257th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft in compensation for the loss of punter Riley Dixon and running back Javonte Williams to free agency last season. According to Tankathon, here are
the projected draft picks for the Broncos with this new data confirmed.

*Denotes compensatory pick
For the 2027 NFL Draft, the Broncos may be on track to get another compensatory pick there from the John Franklin-Meyers signing with the Tennessee Titans. As it stands right now, that would project as a fourth-round pick for Denver next year.
That is subject to change, obviously, since Denver could make a big signing that could change things.
What are your thoughts on free agency so far?
