After clinching a spot in the NFL playoffs, the Denver Broncos won’t pick higher than 19th overall in the 2025 NFL draft.
Fourteen teams make the playoffs each season, so the final 14 picks in the first round won’t be determined until after teams are knocked out of the postseason. The higher pick Denver could hold in April is 19th overall, according to Tankathon.
The Broncos have their own picks in the first four rounds for the first time since the Russell Wilson trade, and they hold three picks in the sixth round following the Baron Browning trade from earlier this season.
Here’s a look at the team’s order of picks in next year’s NFL draft, with help from prosportstransactions.com.

Denver does not hold a fifth-round pick after trading that pick and pass rusher Bradley Chubb to the Miami Dolphins in 2022 in exchange for running back Chase Edmonds and first- and fourth-round draft picks. (The Broncos later used that first-round pick to acquire coach Sean Payton in 2023.)
Denver also does not hold a seventh-round pick after trading that selection and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023 in exchange for a sixth-round pick.
The 2025 NFL draft will be held in Green Bay from April 24-26.
