After sending a sixth-round draft pick to the New York Jets in exchange for quarterback Zach Wilson and a seventh-round pick, the Denver Broncos still hold eight picks to use in the upcoming 2024 NFL draft (April 25-27).
The Broncos are set to select 12th overall in the first round (will they still draft a quarterback?), but they do not hold a second-round pick after sending it to the New Orleans Saints to acquire coach Sean Payton last year.
Denver is scheduled to make selections in the first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. Here’s a look at the Broncos’ complete order of picks in the 2024 NFL draft:
Round 1: 12th overall (own pick)
Round 3: 76th overall (own pick)
Round 4: 121st overall (via MIA)
Round 5: 136th overall (via CLE)
Round 5: 145th overall (via NYJ)
Round 5: 147th overall (own pick)
Round 6: 207th overall (via SF)
Round 7: 256th overall (via NYJ)
What happened to their original picks, you ask? The second-rounder went to New Orleans for Payton. The fourth went to the New York Jets in 2022 as part of the Jake Martin trade, the sixth went to the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 as part of the Kenny Young trade and the seventh went to the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 as part of the Randy Gregory trade.
Denver has already made multiple pick swaps, and more trades might be on the way. The draft will begin on Thursday night and run through Saturday.
