Broncos Seek Trade Up for 2025 NFL Draft Pick

The Denver Broncos, holding the 20th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, surprised analysts by selecting Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron rather than the widely projected running backs Omarion Hampton or TreVeyon Henderson, signaling a focus on defense over immediate offensive needs. Despite this, there remains a clear need for skill-position talent, and the Broncos are expected to target key offensive players such as running backs or tight ends in subsequent rounds. Reports indicate Denver has been fielding calls from teams interested in their pick and is also considering moving up in the draft to secure top prospects, potentially at wide receiver or tight end. The team’s strategy reflects an openness to adjusting their draft position and roster priorities, particularly after a playoff season led by quarterback Bo Nix. With several offensive weapons still available, the Broncos’ draft approach remains flexible and opportunistic as they look to bolster their lineup for the upcoming season.
