The 2027 NFL Draft is still a ways off, but for Denver, it’s already shaping up to be massive. Right now, the Broncos are staring down a tentative nine selections for next April, including something they haven’t seen much of lately: their original first-round pick!
The Stacked Draft Class
Denver’s got all seven of their original 2027 picks locked in, plus an extra seventh-rounder from last year’s Devaughn Vele trade. OverTheCap is even projecting a fourth-round compensatory pick for Jonathan Franklin-Myers. That’s a huge haul, bringing them to a tentative nine picks overall! While earlier calculations for a P.J. Locke seventh-rounder are now off the list, nine picks is still massive.
Payton’s Moment of Truth
Make no mistake, this 2027 draft is going to be *extremely* important for the Broncos. It’s technically the first of the Sean Payton era where Denver is scheduled to have an original pick in every single round. Plus, it’s only the third draft since 2022 where they’ve even had a first-round pick. With Bo Nix and several other key players eligible for extensions next offseason, the Broncos *have* to nail this. They’ve gotta hit on a good portion of these picks.
We’ll break down Denver’s tentative draft needs in the next article. Get ready for a draft class that could seriously reshape their future!
