Post–Regular Season Mock Drafts: Who Are the Broncos Targeting? Risers, Fallers & AFC West Scenarios

The DNVR Draft Podcast breaks down the latest wave of post–regular season 2026 NFL Mock Drafts and what they mean for the Denver Broncos. With new mocks dropping from The Athletic, ESPN, CBS, McShay, and more, we round up the biggest trends shaping Denver’s draft outlook. We start with a full mock draft roundup, highlighting the biggest risers and fallers across the board. How high are Jermod McCoy and Sonny Styles climbing? Is Francis Mauigoa cementing himself as OT1? Is David Bailey EDGE1? And on the flip side, how far could Kadyn Proctor fall after declaring? From there, we zero in on the Broncos’ picks, including whether linebacker value could line up perfectly for Denver and how recent declarations from Ty Simpson, Caleb Downs, Proctor, and Carnell Tate shake up the board. We also examine how high Downs could realistically go — and just how low Proctor might slide. We then scan the rest of the AFC West, breaking down the scariest mock draft picks for the Raiders, Chiefs, and Chargers, including quarterback scenarios that could reshape the division. The episode wraps with thoughts on the NFL–CFB crossover coaching implications. And finally, we give our College Football Playoff picks and key matchups to watch. Join Jake Schwanitz and Andre Simone as we break it all down.
