The Denver Broncos currently hold six picks in the 2024 NFL draft, and they are on pace to secure a top-five pick after a 1-3 start.
Here’s an updated look at the team’s current order of picks for next April.
(The team’s second-round pick was sent to the Saints earlier this year as part of the Sean Payton trade.)
Round 1: own pick
Round 3: own or via Saints* (Sean Payton trade)
Round 4: own or via Dolphins** (Bradley Chubb trade)
Round 5: own pick
Round 5: via Jets (Jacob Martin trade)
Round 7: own or via Rams*** (Kenny Young trade)
*The Broncos traded a 2024 third-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks to trade up for cornerback Riley Moss during the 2023 draft. It’s not yet known if Denver sent its original third-round pick or a third-round selection previously acquired from the Saints.
**The Broncos traded a 2024 fourth-round pick to the New York Jets in 2022 in exchange for pass rusher Jacob Martin and a 2024 fifth-round pick. It’s unclear if Denver traded its own pick or the Miami Dolphins’ pick for Martin.
***Denver acquired a seventh-round pick and linebacker Kenny Young from the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 in exchange for next year’s sixth-round pick. It’s unclear if the Broncos sent their original seventh-round pick or L.A.’s seventh-round pick when they acquired kicker Wil Lutz from New Orleans.
Clear as mud, right?
Regardless of if they end up being their original picks or the picks acquired from other teams, Denver is currently expected to have six picks in 2024 with selections in the first, third, fourth, fifth and seventh rounds.
