What time do Broncos actually pick in first round? Projecting when Denver will make 20th pick image

The Denver Broncos will go on the clock with the No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, barring any trades. What time should fans within Broncos Country make sure to tune in so they can see the newest member of the team become official?

For fans who don't wish to watch the entire NFL draft, we will try to narrow down a good window for you to join in on the action. 

The draft, which is being held at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin this year, can be seen live on either ESPN or NFL Network. It is slated to start at 6:00 pm MT. 

Each team gets 10 minutes to be on the clock before having to make their selection. Taking into account that some time will be needed to welcome the audience and discuss the night's proceedings, followed by a short address from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the Broncos should go on the clock somewhere between 8:30 and 8:50 Mountain Standard Time. 

The pick will likely be made closer to the end of that window, but to ensure you see the pick as it happens, tuning in by 8:30 pm seems safe. 

Of course, there is always a chance that the Broncos trade out of the No. 20 pick, and a trade up or down the board is conceivable. Make sure to have alerts set on your phone in the event that happens.
