Denver Broncos Day 3 NFL mock draft: Who will team take with final two picks? image

The Denver Broncos traded their way around the NFL draft board on Friday night, making three different deals before landing running back R.J. Harvey, wide receiver Pat Bryant and edge rusher Sai'vion Jones as the newest additions to the roster. 

Those deals left the team with just two more picks to make the rest of the way, barring any further trading. Looking at the players left on the board and what the team may need, which direction would you like to see the Broncos go in on Saturday?

Following the draft, teams will scramble to sign undrafted players, an area the Broncos have routinely excelled in. Day 3 of the draft kicks off at 10:00 am MST.

Round 4, Pick No. 134: Jake Briningstool, TE, Clemson

Despite signing Evan Engram in free agency, the Broncos could still use a developmental tight end. If they could land Gunnar Helm from Texas, a Colorado native in this spot, it would be a huge feather in Sean Payton's cap. 

Assuming Helm's name has been called by this point, the Broncos will go with a tight end from another top school. Jake Briningstool is a big target at 6-foot-6 and he had 99 receptions and 12 touchdowns over the course of the last two seasons for the Tigers. 

Round 6, Pick No. 197: LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse

The Broncos added a running back in round two, but there's still room for another.

LeQuint Allen is one of the best late-round prospects in this entire class and he could prove to have great value in the future as he has the ability to be a three-down back in the NFL due to his ability as a receiver. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons with the Orange and found the end zone 20 times (16 rushing, 4 receiving) in 2024.
