The Denver Broncos, following a hugely successful 2025 season, will be selecting toward the bottom of the first round in the 2026 NFL Draft. They hold the No. 30 overall pick.

With that pick, the team will have to be patient and see what falls to them. In nearly every mock that has been put out to this point, that is a defensive player. This year's class lacks top-end offensive talent, which is what the Broncos should be searching for. 

However, in the most recent mock draft published by Dan Parr of NFL.com, the Broncos strike gold. Parr predicts that Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq will fall to the Broncos at the bottom of the first round. 

"The draft’s top tight end falls right into Sean Payton’s lap, allowing the Broncos to reunite Bo Nix with his former Oregon teammate. Sadiq brings versatility and explosiveness to Denver’s offense", wrote Parr. 

Kenyon Sadiq would be the ideal first-round pick for the Broncos

If the draft were to fall like this in April, the Broncos should throw a large celebration. 

The Broncos need to find players who can open up the offense and make it more explosive and Sadiq fits that bill. The Broncos felt that adding Evan Engram in free agency this past offseason would accomplish that, but he struggled to become much of a factor for the team. 

Sadiq caught 51 passes for 560 yards and eight touchdowns for the Ducks this past season, but he hasn't scratched the surface of his true potential. A freak athlete, Sadiq will run a 40-yard dash in the area of 4.5 seconds. He can get open over the middle and the versatility he will bring to an offense will be where he becomes a real weapon for the team that gets him as he can be moved all over the formation. 

This is the kind of player the Broncos need and have needed. Last year during draft season, Tyler Warren, who ultimately went to the Indianapolis Colts, was the best-looking prospect for the Broncos. Sadiq could feel that role and the Broncos could bring him along slowly behind the veteran Engram.

At No. 30, the Broncos need to select the best player on the board, rather than zero in on a position of need. If Sadiq is still on the board, they shouldn't waste much time in announcing him as their choice.
