"I'm grateful for my teammates and a head coach and staff that believe in me," Nix wrote. "I'm grateful for our fans and all of Broncos Country. I'm grateful for the opportunity I've been given in Denver."

The Broncos are searching for another key contributor after selecting Nik Bonitto, Marvin Mims Jr. and RJ Harvey in the second round during General Manager George Paton's tenure in Denver.

With the 2026 NFL Draft just over two weeks away, here's a look at several analysts' projections for the Broncos' selections in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Following the Broncos' best season on the field in a decade, the team's support staff has been recognized with a league-wide honor.

"The timeline is aggressive," Walton Penner said, "and so we're looking forward to getting a little bit more momentum there, too."

"With regards to the player, he is explosive," Payton said of Waddle.

"We were prepared to be aggressive if we thought that there was an opportunity," Penner said. "At the same time, we weren't going to be aggressive just to be aggressive."

More of Broncos Country will be able to watch their team take the field this summer.

"It's an ambitious timeline that we have, and we won't be able to accomplish our goals in terms of timing and getting in there by ourselves," Penner said Monday at the NFL Annual Meeting. "It's not just something the Broncos are driving. We've got to have a lot of support from partners and others that are involved with the site."

"You turn on the tape, and he's one of the more explosive players in the NFL, yet he's an elite route runner," Paton said. "Really good after the catch. He's a matchup problem. He can play all over. So, really excited about him."

Following their acquisition of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, the Broncos now hold seven picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.
