Finding Broncos: Final 6-Round Mock Draft
Our best guess at how the Broncos' draft might shake out.
The Denver Broncos already made their first two selections in the draft — his name is Russell Wilson. By trading away the No. 9 and 40 overall picks to the Seattle Seahawks for Wilson, the Broncos set themselves up with a franchise quarterback.
With that taken care of, the Broncos have been able to look at the rest of the roster. First, Denver signed edge rusher Randy Gregory and defensive tackle D.J. Jones to get after the quarterback and stop the run. After that, the Broncos could fill out the rest of their roster needs, giving them freedom in the draft.
The Broncos enter the draft with nine total picks, with five in the top-120 picks and six in the top-150. That gives Denver the flexibility to move up in the draft if needed or move back.
In my final mock of the 2022 draft cycle, there were three trades. Each trade was based on a real-life precedent from the 2021 or 2020 draft.
- Denver sends pick 64 to the New York Jets for picks 69 and 163.
- Denver sends pick 75 to the New Orleans Saints for picks 83 and 124.
- Denver sends picks 163 and 232 to Indianapolis for picks 159 and 239.
