Cecil Lammey’s seven-round 2026 mock draft for the Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos only have one pick in the first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft. With the No. 62 overall selection, near the end of the second round, there are a few ways the Broncos could go with the selection.

While rounds one through three may not have much excitement with only one player added in the draft, rounds four to seven on Saturday could get Denver value picks and sleepers. Without a ton of holes on the roster, do the Broncos go with safe pick or do they go with riskier players with a high upside?

I’ve written my one-and-only mock draft, so here’s a full seven-round mock draft for the Broncos.

***

Second Round, No. 62
Anthony Hill Jr., ILB, Texas
I love Hill’s athletic profile and football intelligence. With a year to learn from Alex Singleton, it gives him a bright future.

Fourth Round, No. 108
Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington
All listeners to “Dover & Cecil” know how much I love Coleman. He’s a complete back who doesn’t need to come off the field. A perfect “next back up” if/when JK Dobbins is hurt.

Fourth Round, No. 111
Tacorio Davis, CB, Washington
I’m a fan of freakish traits. Davis is a long corner who loves to find the ball in the air. I like the way he uses his length to disrupt at the line of scrimmage and make up ground down the field.

Fifth Round, No. 17
Michael Trigg, TE, Baylor
The Broncos need a plan at tight end – but not a blocking tight end (they’re good in that department). Trigg is an “F” tight end who can move. Think of him as a big-bodied wide receiver with the frame, strength, and willingness to develop into a better blocker.

Seventh Round, No. 246
Patrick Payton, Edge, LSU
Payton is a big body on the edge of the defensive line. He’s got length, strength, and hustles to make plays that go away from him. Payton also has developmental upside as a rusher.

Seventh Round, No. 256
Kaden Wetjen, WR, Missouri
Return man is the game, and that’s Wetjen’s (pronounced: WEE-jen) name. He’s a Swiss Army Knife on the football field, and Special Teams Coach Darren Rizzi would absolutely love to coach a guy with his talent.

Seventh Round, No. 257
Caden Barnett, OG, Wyoming
The “Vanilla Gorilla” is a favorite of mine in this draft class. He’s a big, country-strong guard who loves nothing more than to move a big man against his will. Frank Crum was a diamond in the rough when the Broncos found him a few years ago, and Barnett could be as well.
