Why
The Denver Broncos' current priorities begin at defensive line (DL) and pass rusher (EDGE). Safety (S) and linebacker (LB) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
With George Paton at the helm for a single first- and second-round draft, it's premature to define a pattern. However, his sole high-caliber selection was Bo Nix, indicating a clear priority for securing a quarterback and likely favoring floor over upside. Given the scarcity of early-round capital in recent years, each pick has been a high-stakes gamble targeting immediate impact. We'll monitor if this QB tendency solidifies moving forward.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Clemson
EDGEBrings the length and discipline Denver's edge room lacks against the run. High early-down floor; the ceiling requires developing real counters.
Oregon
DLPure mass to plug Denver's interior gaps. Gives you an immediate early-down anchor; ceiling hinges on developing pass-rush counters.
Minnesota
IOLImmediate push between the tackles with center-guard versatility; high pad level hurts him in pass pro, but he moves bodies now.
Second round
3 names
Oregon
EDGESets a hard edge from day one and collapses pockets with pure power. Immediate early-down starter; ceiling depends on developing counters.
Colorado
DLInstant interior disruption for their pass-rush subpackages. Zero anchor against the run, but that swim move penetrates from day one.
Ohio State
IOLInstant muscle for Denver's interior gap run game. High-floor Day 1 starter; limited ceiling, but the hands and anchor are pro-ready.
Third round
3 names
Oregon
EDGEPure muscle to set the edge on early downs for Denver. Safe floor against the run, though lacking the bend to turn the corner.
LSU
DLGives Denver elite get-off on the edge. Pure traits gamble; without counter moves, he caps out as a situational specialist.
Georgia
IOLInstant pre-snap brain for the interior in a zone scheme. High floor on processing alone; pad level dictates the ceiling.
