Despite not having a first round pick in the 2026 NFL draft, NFL analyst Brian Baldinger believes there is a prospect to keep an eye on if you're the Denver Broncos.
"Keep an eye, if (the Broncos) stay at [pick] 62, and they take their pick; just keep an eye on Josiah Trotter out of Missouri," Baldinger said during an appearance on DNVR Broncos last week. "His dad (Jeremiah Trotter) was in Philly when (now-Broncos head coach) Sean (Payton) came to Philly (in 1997)... just keep an eye on that and that connection right there."

Trotter has been a player linked to Denver in the weeks leading up to the NFL draft by several outlets, and could provide adequate depth behind starting linebackers Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad.
Trotter (6-2, 237 pounds) was a redshirt sophomore who played at both West Virginia and Missouri, making 176 total tackles (79 solo, 97 assisted), 17 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, one interception and three pass deflections. Trotter's NFL combine profile likens him to the Kansas City Chiefs' Nick Bolton, who Denver faces twice a year.
The NFL draft is just days away. Who will the Broncos ultimately choose? Keep an eye on Trotter.
