After agreeing to trade a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for linebacker Daiyan Henley, the Denver Broncos still have plenty of draft capital this offseason.
In addition to holding their original selections in six rounds, the Broncos also hold a seventh-round selection from the New Orleans Saints following their 2025 Devaughn Vele trade. Denver is also projected to receive a fourth-round compensatory pick for losing John Franklin-Myers and a seventh-round comp pick for losing safety P.J. Locke during NFL free agency this spring.
Additionally, if defensive coordinator Vance Joseph lands a head coach job in 2027, the Broncos would receive a third-round comp pick in 2027 and another third-round selection
in 2028 as part of the NFL's Rooney Rule that rewards teams for developing minority coaches and executives.
There's no guarantee that Joseph will leave for a head coach role, though, so here's a look at the team's current projected picks as things stand now.
Broncos picks in 2027 NFL draft
- Round 1: own pick
- Round 2: own pick
- Round 4: own pick
- Round 4: projected comp pick (JFM)
- Round 5: own pick
- Round 6: own pick
- Round 7: own pick
- Round 7: via Saints (Devaughn Vele trade)
- Round 7: projected comp pick (P.J. Locke)
And if the Broncos decide to let Henley walk in free agency in 2027 instead of re-signing him, Denver could receive a comp pick in 2028. First things first, though, the 2027 NFL draft will be held in Washington, D.C., from April 29 to May 1.
