In his way-too-early first-round 2026 NFL mock draft, Draft Wire's Curt Popejoy has the Denver Broncos selecting Georgia linebacker C.J. Allen with the 17th overall pick. (Don't get too offended -- Popejoy noted that the order of picks was "largely random.")

With the 2025 NFL draft in the books, the Denver Broncos finished with seven picks, one in each round except the fifth round, and two picks in the third. Sean Payton drafted his first LSU player and traded down not only once, but three times.

The Denver Broncos added Jacksonville State IOL Clay Webb as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft.

One of the Broncos’ prized free agent additions is set to miss time during the club’s offseason program but avoided a potentially more serious injury.

Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area previously reported that there was a belief that Greenlaw's injury was a torn quad, which would've cost him "a significant portion" of the upcoming campaign. Broncos fans will certainly be relieved that his injury isn't that serious. Greenlaw's deal with Denver is reportedly worth up to $31.5 million.

Denver Broncos inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw suffered a quadriceps strain but is expected to be ready for the start of the 2025 NFL season, a league source told The Athletic. Greenlaw suffered the injury while working out and will spend several weeks rehabbing during the offseason and will not need surgery,
