After being knocked out of the NFL playoffs with a 31-7 defeat to the Buffalo Bills, the Denver Broncos are now slated to pick 20th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
With 14 teams making the playoffs each year, the draft order for the final 14 first-round picks is determined as teams are eliminated. According to Tankathon, Denver will select at No. 20.
For the first time since the Russell Wilson trade, the Broncos hold their own picks in the first four rounds. They also own three sixth-round picks, including one acquired in the Baron Browning trade earlier this season.
Here’s the Broncos’ updated draft order for 2025, via prosportstransactions.com:
Broncos’ 2025 NFL Draft Picks
- Round 1: Own pick (20th overall)
- Round 2: Own pick
- Round 3: Own pick
- Round 4: Own pick
- Round 5: Traded to Dolphins
- Round 6: Acquired from Cardinals
- Round 6: Own pick
- Round 6: Acquired from Eagles
- Round 7: Traded to Eagles
- The Broncos do not own a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, as it was part of the 2022 trade that sent pass rusher Bradley Chubb to the Miami Dolphins. In return, Denver received running back Chase Edmonds, along with first- and fourth-round draft picks. That first-round pick was later used to acquire head coach Sean Payton in 2023.
Additionally, Denver no longer holds a seventh-round pick after trading it, along with tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023. The deal brought the Broncos an additional sixth-round selection.
The 2025 NFL Draft is set to take place in Green Bay from April 24-26.
