The Denver Broncos roster is truly right on par with the Kansas City Chiefs, and this 2025 NFL Mock Draft haul would help them become division favorites. The Broncos won 10 games in the 2024 NFL Season, but six of their seven losses were by just one score, so this team is quite close.
In all honesty, the 10-7 record didn't do the season justice, as they were a bit better than their record indicated. If you couple that with Bo Nix likely making a year two jump, it is easy to see how the Broncos can perhaps squeeze another couple of weeks out during the 2025 NFL Season.
Would a 12-5 record this upcoming year be enough to surpass the Kansas City Chiefs? Given how many close games the Chiefs won in 2024 and how slim their margins were, it could be. And if the Denver Broncos came away with this NFL Draft haul, they would surely become favorites in the division.
Let's get into it.
Broncos NFL Mock Draft: Denver becomes the clear-cut AFC West favorite
20. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
In my opinion, the best fit for the Denver Broncos at wide receiver among all prospects is Emeka Egbuka, the stud player from Ohio State who simply is a darn good football player. He can occupy that "Z" role on offense and can run, catch, block, and a player who comes from a long line of former OSU wide receivers who make it big in the NFL.
I would go as far as to say that there is almost no chance that Egbuka is a 'bust' if he ends up on the Denver Broncos. Bo Nix needs another WR to throw the ball to, and Emeka Egbuka is a perfect Denver Bronco.
51. TreVeyon Henderson, RB Ohio State
If the Broncos were able to come away with Emeka Egbuka and TreVeyon Henderson with their first two picks, they could sincerely not make another selection in the NFL Draft and still come away with a slam-dunk class. The same way Egbuka fits like a glove at WR, Henderson fits like a glove in the backfield. He is someone of extremely high character and can do a little bit of everything on offense.
Egbuka, Henderson, and Evan Engram would be the three big additions on offense. Bo Nix would be smiling ear to ear with this NFL Draft haul.
85. Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
After using the first two picks of this NFL Mock Draft on offense, the Broncos bolster their already elite defense and take Omarr Norman-Lott from Tennessee. Even with their defensive line being as great as it is, as it stands now, all of Zach Allen, John Franklin-Myers, and Malcolm Roach have just one more year left on their deals.
It would be great if Denver was a bit proactive along the DL before it becomes a potential weakness.
122. Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma
Danny Stutsman was a very productive college player and could help the Broncos cap-off what could be an elite ILB room. They signed Dre Greenlaw in free agency and moved Drew Sanders to ILB. The Stutsman selection could potentially put Alex Singleton on the roster bubble if he comes along nicely in his first offseason in the NFL.
191. Mitchell Evans, TE, Notre Dame
The Denver Broncos do have to do some long-term planning at tight end, as Evan Engram is signed for just two years, and Adam Trautman is only a depth piece. Denver takes Mitchell Evans with their first of three sixth-round picks. Evans could end up being the TE3 for a little while with the opportunity to develop into their long-term solution at the position, which has been a weakness for years now.
197. Clay Webb, OG, Jacksonville State
With the possibility that the Broncos could cut Ben Powers next offseason depending on how the 2025 NFL Season goes, grabbing an iOL prospect is a wise idea and another indication that the team is clearly trying to be proactive in the trenches. They take Clay Webb from Jacksonville State, and Webb steps into a truly well-oiled machine in the OL room.
208. Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas
The Denver Broncos have room to really re-shape their RB room and grab two backs in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they do just that in this mock with Jaydon Blue from Texas.
This 2025 NFL Mock Draft haul for the Denver Broncos would help them pass the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West and would truly put the entire NFL on notice.
