Here’s a look at who national draftniks are thinking will land in Denver.
A Denver Broncos fan speaks with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell onstage during round one of the 2021 NFL Draft at the Great Lakes Science Center on April 29, 2021 in Cleveland, Ohio. For the Broncos — as well as the other 31 NFL teams — it gave them a chance to zero in on who they want to target at the draft next month where Denver has the 30th overall pick in the first round.
Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion runs the ball against Miami during the second half of the first round of the College Football Playoff, Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, in College Station, Texas. "He has average size but elite short-area burst and quickness that could make him an ideal complement to Courtland Sutton in Denver’s passing game," Davis writes.Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. runs the ball after a take-away during an NCAA football game against Florida, Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, in Gainesville, Fla. Florida defeated Texas 29-21. "This is a pick I had in the first mock draft, too, and unless a guy like C.J. Allen falls, I may keep it. Hill is an explosive linebacker who fits well with a Denver defense that loves to fly around and hit people. He would also be the second straight Longhorns defender they draft in the first round ," Hoyt writes.Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. during the first half of an NCAA college football game against San Jose State in Austin, Texas, Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025. National Team defensive tackle Lee Hunter , of Texas Tech, runs through drills during practice for the Senior Bowl NCAA college football game Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026, in Mobile, Ala. "The Broncos have loved Allen for a while but they also need defensive tackle reinforcement and came away very impressed overall about Hunter after he continued his fast rise at the Combine," Iyer writes.Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren lines up against Western Kentucky on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024, in Bowling Green, Ky. "Getting more offensive playmakers for quarterback Bo Nix might be an option here, but the Broncos could use this pick to make their already-stout defense even stronger. Toledo has turned into a Group of 5 defensive factory , and McNeil-Warren is the next prospect up. He would bring a diverse skill set to the Broncos' secondary, with his 20% defensive completion percentage allowed being the best among all FBS defensive backs last season," Reid writes.Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren pursues a play on defense against the Akron during an NCAA football game on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025, in Toledo, Ohio. "The Broncos have been doing their homework on McNeil-Warren, a long, athletic safety who makes plays in coverage and versus the run. Safety might not be the Broncos’ No. 1 need, but McNeil-Warren’s range would be a nice fit in their secondary, Brugler writes.Miami defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor rushes in during the Cotton Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal game between Ohio State and Miami Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025, in Arlington, Texas. "Another pass rusher for the Broncos because that’s what we do with teams at the bottom of a mock draft. Mesidor showed he can put heat on the quarterback on the edge and the interior of Miami’s defensive line, registering 12.5 sacks in the Hurricanes’ run to the national championship game. Pro Football Focus gave him a 92.5 pass rush grade, which is third among edge rushers. His PFF run defense score was 88.3, which ranked in the 91st percentile," McDonald writes.Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq runs the ball during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Minnesota Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, in Eugene, Ore. "Sadiq may be just 6-foot-3, but he can be a special pass-catcher, particularly after the catch. You’d have to really squint to see five-time Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham, but Sadiq could be a nice match for quarterback Bo Nix and this offense," McKenna writes.Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers is hit by Texas defensive back Graceson Littleton as he scores a touchdown during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Austin, Texas, Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025. Broncos trade candidates: Jarrett Stidham among five players who could be dangled in NFL free agency"As crazy as Kenyon Sadiq’s combine performance was, Stowers’ was even better in some ways. He jumped an astounding 45.5 inches in the vertical with an 11-foot-3 broad, both better than Sadiq’s numbers. He won’t bring much in the blocking game, but as a true big receiver with a ton of athletic versatility, he would be a perfect fit in Denver," Sikkema writes.
