Broncos 2023 Draft Tracker: Denver rounds out their draft with their final selection

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — For the first time, the Payton & Paton combo is leading the Denver Broncos’ draft.

Thanks in part to George Paton trading a first-round pick to acquire Sean Payton, the Broncos only had five picks entering the 2023 NFL Draft.

Barring a massive trade, Denver won’t have a first-round pick and the team’s first pick won’t be until the third round.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Broncos’ 2023 draft.
