As they approach the NFL trade deadline (Nov. 4), the Denver Broncos currently hold seven picks for the 2026 NFL draft. Denver holds all but one of its original selections and the team gained a fourth-round pick from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for wide receiver Devaughn Vele earlier this year.

The Denver Broncos are in a position to be buyers ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but that doesn't mean that some players may not be moved as well.

Denver could explore additions at tight end or receiver, but Sean Payton insists the Broncos "like what we currently have" on the roster.

Denver’s defense has racked up a league-leading 40 sacks, putting the Broncos on pace for 75, which would obliterate the franchise-record 63 sacks they collected last season. That would also eclipse the NFL record for most sacks in a season of 72 set by the Chicago Bears in 1984.

The Denver Broncos took on the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025. Denver won 18-15.

The Las Vegas Raiders had a crushing loss in overtime against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 30-29 loss brings them to 2-6 on the season, and the team appears more likely to pick in the top ten for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Week 9 of the NFL schedule will give the shrinking number of remaining survivor pool players some solid options. Unless the Cincinnati Bengals were your pick, there wasn't a whole lot of carnage in Week 8 as most favorites pulled through.

For Franklin Myers, Broncos GM George Paton should consider a three-year, $54 million deal that would pay him $18 million annually. Give Franklin-Myers incentives to earn an extra $6 million, with a $20-25 million signing bonus, guaranteeing $35 million of it. That would be a more than fair deal with his level of play, usage, and age.
