The Broncos will get picks in the 3rd (#101), 5th (#177), and two in the 7th (#252 and #253).

In sum, two adverse changes were made to my Broncos’ projection that I both anticipated might happen. Danny Trevathan was valued as a 5th rounder, of which I thought was a very close call, and isn’t a huge deal. But the real blow against the Broncos was that the compensatory formula decided to count the entirety of Russell Okung’s contract (as well as Kelvin Beachum’s, structured the same way). That caused Okung to be easily valued as a 3rd rounder, and thus canceled out their highest 3rd round CFA lost, and that was Brock Osweiler. In turn, it freed up a 7th round pick for Vernon Davis. The Broncos’ other 7th rounder, for Ryan Harris, will be the Mr. Irrelevant pick once again for Denver. This year, I personally hope they won’t trade it.
