NFL draft tracker for Denver Broncos 2025 picks
The Denver Broncos are in the middle of the 2025 NFL Draft, and on Friday night, they made several trades that changed up their positioning in the remaining rounds of the draft, as well as another trade on Saturday.
Two trades were made during the second round. First, they swapped multiple picks with the Carolina Panthers. Denver traded four of their picks for four of the Panthers' picks. Then, they traded two of their picks for two of the Detroit Lions' picks. Finally, late on Friday, the Broncos traded some picks with the Eagles.
The Broncos' picks included No. 20 overall, and while there were some rumors in the days leading up to Thursday -- the first night of the draft -- that they might try to trade up, that didn't happen.
Denver general manager George Paton and head coach Sean Payton decided to give their already stellar defensive secondary a boost and drafted a cornerback with that No. 20 pick: Jahdae Barron out of Texas.
In the second and third rounds, the Broncos went offensive and drafted running back RJ Harvey out of UCF and wide receiver Pat Bryant out of Illinois. Then right before the night ended, they made a trade and drafted a defensive lineman.
In the later rounds, the Broncos front office could have their eyes on drafting another offensive skill player -- maybe a versatile, pass-catching tight end. In later rounds, there's also a good chance they'll try to pick an offensive lineman to help protect young quarterback Bo Nix.
Moments before the Broncos were set to choose the 197th overall pick, they traded with Houston for picks 216 and 241.

Who is announcing the picks for the Broncos?
The draft is taking place at Lambeau Field on in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The pick or picks for Denver on Thursday will be announced by a 17-year-old Make-A-Wish recipient named Samuel Barrett. Barrett has been battling a brain tumor since 2018.
The picks on Friday will be announced by Montee Ball, a former running back for the Denver Broncos who played for the Wisconsin Badgers in college.
Who were the Broncos' best picks last year?
In 2024, the Denver Broncos drafted quarterback Bo Nix in the first round, and so far, it looks like a great decision for the franchise. Nix, who played for Auburn and Oregon in college, in his first year showed a proficiency for making smart decisions and fit well in coach Sean Payton's offensive system.
Another consensus great pick for Denver was wide receiver Devaughn Vele, who was picked in the seventh round. He played for Utah in college and had a productive first year, scoring three times and tallying 475 yards receiving.
