The 2023 NFL draft will begin tonight and while the Denver Broncos aren’t scheduled to make their first pick until Day 2, it will be a busy weekend for general manager George Paton.
Paton loves draft-day trades and Broncos fans can probably expect Denver to make several moves over the weekend.
Courtesy of the NFL Wire’s Coley Cleary, we have a graphic of the complete order of the 2023 NFL draft that includes trade values for each pick.
The values assigned to each pick are from Rich Hill‘s trade value model. Using this chart, fans can have some fun creating hypothetical trade scenarios for the Broncos during the draft.

Denver currently has five picks in the 2023 NFL draft, including back-to-back selections (Nos. 67-68 overall) in the third round. The picks have a combined value of 148 points on the trade value chart.
If, for example, the Broncos want to trade back into the second round of the draft, pick No. 62 has a trade value of 84 points. Denver could trade its later third-round pick (73 points) plus a fifth-round pick (16 points) in exchange for the second-round pick (84 points) and perhaps another late-round pick.
The first round of the draft will begin on Thursday evening.
