7-round Broncos mock draft after first wave of NFL free agency
Bring on the NFL draft.
After make several splashes in the first wave of NFL free agency, the Denver Broncos have filled almost all of their key needs and attention will soon turn toward the 2025 NFL draft next month.
The Broncoshold seven picks this year, including their original selections in the first four rounds. Denver does not have a fifth-round pick (which was traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2022) or a seventh-round pick (which was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023). The Broncos do have two extra seventh-round picks, one from that Philly deal and another from a trade with the Arizona Cardinals last fall.
With the pick explanations out of the way, let's jump into our latest seven-round NFL mock draft for the Broncos. This mock draft was formulated using Pro Football Network's simulator.
Broncos 7-round NFL mock draft
Round 1: WR Emeka Egbuka
You can never have too many talented wide receivers, and Courtland Sutton will turn 30 this season before being scheduled to become a free agent in 2026. Egbuka hauled in 81 receptions for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns at Ohio State last fall.
Round 2: RB Quinshon Judkins
Denver could address the running back position as early as the first round, but it's such a deep class that they won't have to. Judkins, another Buckeye, rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 TDs in 2024 after transferring from Ole Miss.
Round 3: TE Terrance Ferguson
This feels like a pick that's meant to be. Ferguson was born and raised in Denver before playing college football with Bo Nix at Oregon. Nix and Ferguson connected 42 times for 414 six touchdowns in 2023. Don't let the Broncos bringing in Evan Engram scare you away from the position -- they still need a long-term TE.
Round 4: DL Omarr Norman-Lott
The Eagles just demonstrated that a deep defensive line rotation can win championships. Norman-Lott posted 18 tackles and four sacks at Tennessee last fall.
Round 6: RB Kyle Monangai
Two backs are better than one, right? Monangai rushed for 1,279 yards and 13 touchdowns at Rutgers in 2024.
Round 6: P James Burnip
Yes, a punter. The Broncos do not currently have one on the roster and Alabama's Burnip is said to be the best option in this year's class.
Round 6: QB Cam Miller
This might be a little too early for Miller, but it's Denver's final pick in the draft and he feels like a Taysom Hill-type of prospect. He rushed for 2,277 yards and 48 touchdowns in five years at NDSU while passing for 9,721 yards with 81 touchdowns against 19 interceptions.
The 2025 NFL draft will be held in Wisconsin from April 24-26.
