The Denver Broncos hold one pick on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, and it will be made toward the bottom of the second round. Barring a trade by the team, they won't pick again until the fourth round.
There are still several exciting prospects on the board for the team to take a look at and there are several different directions the team could go in. Though there is a handful of prospects who continue to come up in mock drafts, if last year's picks were any indication, this team can be quite unpredictable in the draft.
Still, several analysts are taking their crack at what the Broncos will do in the second round, and here is a collection of their thoughts.
Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati
"Golday is a long, rangy linebacker with a keen eye and an ability to get to the action efficiently", wrote Zierlein.
"Klare can be a Year 1 situational pass-catching tight end while eventually growing into an every-down role", wrote Gray.
"Dunker has the versatility to fulfill multiple positions along the offensive line, which is valuable in a pinch", wrote Edwards.
"Denver's first pick of the draft aims to solve the lack of depth at linebacker. Trotter is a force in the running game with an attacking, downhill style", wrote Miller.
Jacob Camenker, USA TODAY: Anthony Hill, Jr., LB, Texas
"The Broncos parted with Dre Greenlaw after just one season, leaving them in need of additional talent at linebacker.
Hill is a versatile linebacker who generated 249 tackles, 31.5 TFL, 17 sacks, three interceptions and eight forced fumbles across three seasons at Texas. He’s already a very good run defender and has room for improvement, as he will only be a 21-year-old rookie", wrote Camenker.
