The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books. While the Denver Broncos didn’t start their weekend until the third round after trading down from Pick 62, George Paton and Sean Payton were busy fortifying the roster with physical, high-motor prospects. From a new disruptor on the defensive interior to a dynamic weapon in the backfield, the “culture fit” was the theme of the weekend.
In today’s episode, the DNVR Draft crew breaks down all seven selections, starting with Texas A&M DT Tyler Onyedim and Washington RB Jonah Coleman. We also dive into a deep and talented Undrafted Free Agent (UDFA) class—highlighted by names like Taurean York and Dane Key—to see who has the best path to the 53-man roster.
On today’s show:

• The Big Picture: Why the Broncos view Jaylen Waddle as their “de facto” first-round pick and how that changes the grade for this class.
• Round 3 Recap: Is Tyler Onyedim the long-term successor to John Franklin-Myers?
• Offensive Rebuild: Analyzing the additions of RB Jonah Coleman, OL Kage Casey, and the double-dip at tight end with Justin Joly and Dallen Bentley.
• UDFA Watch: Why LB Taurean York (Texas A&M) and WR Dane Key (Nebraska) are the early favorites to be this year’s “hidden gems.”
• Late Round Value: Can 7th-rounders like safety Miles Scott or linebacker Red Murdock make a splash on special teams?
• The Final Grade: Our immediate reactions and long-term outlook for the Broncos’ 2026 haul.
