The Broncos are armed with picks no. 20, 51, 85, 122, 191, 197 and 208 in April’s NFL draft. Who are they looking at taking with those picks? Here’s the latest.
Tracking intel around the prospects Broncos head coach Sean Payton and company are looking at come April’s NFL Draft.This particular puzzle takes roughly two months to complete, and comes in two sets, and is entirely contingent on whether one has the money to properly pay for pieces.
Denver, though, has filled in plenty of gaps as free-agency slows. Now it’s time to turn attention to late April, with Monday officially marking just a month until the NFL draft. The Broncos face plenty of questions in the upcoming month.The Broncos are armed with pick Nos. 20, 51, 85, 122, 191, 197 and 208 in April’s draft, with the obvious potential for trades. Until Roger Goodell officially takes the stage in Green Bay, The Denver Post will be updating this live tracker with intel from reporters on prospects who are visiting and meeting with the Broncos. Let the draft buzz begin.Max Brosmer of the Minnesota Golden Gophers reacts following a touchdown and extra point during the first half of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl against the Virginia Tech Hokies at Bank of America Stadium on Jan. 3, 2025 in Charlotte, N.C. A source told The Post that Brosmer has had a couple Zoom calls with Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb. Brosmer has prototypical size at 6-foot-2, 217 pounds, but only one season of decent production at the FBS level with Minnesota in 2024. The Broncos have picked up on one of the most intriguing stories of this year’s draft, as Elgersma is vying for a selection in April despite never having played a single snap for an American school. Instead, he lit it up in Canada, throwing for 4,011 yards and 34 touchdowns last year. He stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 227 pounds. A source told The Post the Broncos had met with Elgersma at “at least three” all-star or bowl events, Running back Ollie Gordon II of the Oklahoma State Cowboys powers his way into the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown past safety Tucker Large of the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in the second quarter at Boone Pickens Stadium on Aug. 31, 2024 in Stillwater, Okla. Oklahoma State leads 17-6 after the first half. Denver’s had multiple touchpoints with Gordon, a possible late-round target, holding meetings with him at the NFL combine and Senior Bowl and a Zoom with running backs coach Lou Ayeni, according to a source. He’s a prototypical power back at 6-foot-1, 226 pounds. He saw his production dip from 1,732 rushing yards in 2023 to 854 in 2024, though, and ran a 4.61 40-yard dash at the combine. Wide receiver Jalen Royals of the Utah State Aggies catches a long touchdown pass during the first half against the Utah State Aggies at Albertsons Stadium on Oct. 5, 2024 in Boise, Idaho. Royals had two standout seasons at Utah State and ran a 4.42 40-yard-dash at the combine. A source told The Post that Broncos wide receivers coach Keary Colbert was present for Utah State’s pro day last week, but didn’t meet individually with Royals there. Tai Felton of the Maryland Terrapins runs with the ball after a catch in the third quarter against Kamari Ramsey of the USC Trojans at SECU Stadium on Oct. 19, 2024 in College Park, Md. Felton has a Zoom with the Broncos on Tuesday, March 25, a source said. He’s a burner who broke out in 2024 with a 1,119-yard season for Maryland, and could offer Denver depth at Z-receiver alongside rising second-year player Troy Franklin. Arian Smith of the Georgia Bulldogs is tackled by Xavier Watts of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish during the second quarter during the 91st Allstate Sugar Bowl at Caesars Superdome on Jan. 2, 2025 in New Orleans. Smith broke out for the Bulldogs in 2024, racking up 801 yards on 48 catches, and he’s a certified athlete with a 38-inch vertical jump and a 4.36 40-yard time at the combine. His hands are a concern, though, as he dropped 10 passes in 2024. He’s met with the Broncos on a Zoom, according to a source. Isaac TeSlaa of the Arkansas Razorbacks catches a touchdown pass in the first half of a game against Mateo Sudipo of the Western Carolina Catamounts at War Memorial Stadium on Sept. 2, 2023 in Little Rock, Ark. Keep an eye here. TeSlaa earned the highest “Athleticism Score” at the combine of any receiver. He’s 6-foot-4 with a 39.5-inch vertical jump and has the potential to be a massive red-zone threat in the NFL. He had just 28 catches last year at Arkansas, but turned them into 532 yards. He’s raw, but could be a mid-to-late-round steal. The Broncos have had multiple conversations, via phone call or Zoom, with TeSlaa, according to a source. Nick Martin of Oklahoma State participates in the 40-yard dash during the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium on Feb. 27, 2025 in Indianapolis. Martin’s stock has dropped after playing just five games in an injury-shortened 2024, but he racked up 140 tackles and six sacks at OK State in 2023. The Broncos could use young depth at inside linebacker, and a source told The Post that Denver’s had multiple meetings with Martin via the combine, Senior Bowl and Zoom. Free safety Nick Emmanwori of the South Carolina Gamecocks intercepts a pass intended for wide receiver J.J. Hester of the Oklahoma Sooners on the first play of the game at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Oct. 19, 2024 in Norman, Okla. South Carolina won 35-9. Emmanwori is one of the top safeties in the draft, and it seems unlikely the Broncos would use a first-round pick on him when they just signed Talanoa Hufanga to a three-year deal. Still, a source told The Post that the Broncos met with Emmanwori and a group of teammates at South Carolina’s pro day last week.Don’t be fooled by Miller spending five years at the FCS level. North Dakota State is a powerhouse, and Miller had an impressive five-year run with the Bison, throwing for 3,251 yards and 33 touchdowns in 2024 while rushing for 12 touchdowns. He’s a potential target for the Broncos as they search for a QB3.The 6-foot-7, 319-pound Wedig transferred to Indiana in 2024 after three seasons at Wisconsin and authored a terrific season, finishing with Pro Football Focus’s eighth-highest run-blocking grade of any tackle in the country with more than 500 snaps. He also has some collegiate experience at guard., Giddens authored two 1,200-plus-yard seasons on the ground at Kansas State. In a deep, deep RB class, he could bring depth as a late-round fit. One potential concern: he struggled in pass protection in 2024.A logical fit for a top-30 visit, as the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Green is an athletic marvel but struggled with injuries and a lack of consistent opportunity in two years at Wisconsin. He finished with just 219 yards in eight games in 2024. Judkins shone in a time-share with TreVeyon Henderson last year for the national-champion Buckeyes, rushing for 1,060 yards on 193 carries with 14 touchdowns. He’s a 221-pound tank who’d bring a power-back threat to Denver’s backfield. Signing Evan Engram hardly precludes the Broncos from pursuing a tight end, and Helm is a 6-foot-5, 231-pound pass-catching threat who broke out for 786 yards and seven touchdowns last year at Texas. He’s also a hometown kid, born in Englewood and prepping at Cherry Creek High. Latu has played for three schools in three years, but quietly displayed some after-the-catch potential last year with the Huskies in a 40-catch season. He’s a 6-foot-6 body who’s the younger brother of 2024 first-round pick Laiatu Latu.Renck & File: Shedeur Sanders is the next Bo Nix — and that’s a good thingHow the Broncos’ Evan Engram can become Sean Payton’s Joker: “They had a vision for him” Trump’s portrait at Colorado Capitol to come down after president complains it was “purposefully distorted”Electricity restored to 17,000 Denver-area residents amid high winds; nearly 2,000 still without powerColorado legislature passes gun control bill requiring training before purchase for certain firearmsAsking Eric: Daughter wants to stay connected to mother, but stay far away from father Keeler: CSU Rams, America's March Madness Cinderella, went from One Shining Moment to One Shining Mistake
