After the Daiyan Henley trade fell through, the Denver Broncos retained the two draft picks that they had tentatively agreed to trade to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Broncos initially agreed
to trade a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Chargers in exchange for the linebacker, but Denver had concerns about Henley's knee after his physical, and they weren't able to reach a revised deal with L.A., so the trade fell through.The Broncos now once again hold all of their original selections for the 2027 NFL draft, plus a seventh-round selection from the New Orleans Saints following the 2025 Devaughn Vele trade. Denver is also expected to receive a fourth-round compensatory pick for losing John Franklin-Myers during free agency,
and potentially a seventh-round comp pick for losing safety P.J. Locke.

The 2027 NFL draft will be held in Washington, D.C., from April 29 to May 1.
