While the 2026 NFL Draft is still a couple of seasons away, speculation is already heating up for teams like the Denver Broncos. In a recent four-round mock draft, the Broncos are projected to make some strategic moves to bolster their roster, focusing on key offensive and defensive positions with their early selections.

With their second-round pick (62nd overall), the mock draft has Denver selecting Ohio State tight end Max Klare. Analysts praise Klare as a potential high-upside, all-around talent at the position, exactly the kind of dynamic player who could become a reliable target in the passing game. The 6-foot-4, 246-pound transfer from Purdue earned first-team All-Big Ten honors last season, showcasing his reliable hands and playmaking ability.

The Broncos' draft strategy continues into the fourth round, where they are projected to add depth and talent on both sides of the ball. The mock draft sends Michigan linebacker Jimmy Rolder to Denver, a 6-foot-2, 238-pound defender known for his tackling prowess and ability to disrupt plays. To complement the defense, the projection also has the Broncos selecting Penn State running back Nick Singleton, a powerful and productive back who left Happy Valley as the program's all-purpose yards leader.

Following recent roster moves, Denver currently holds seven picks for the 2026 draft. As the team looks to build a competitive squad, these potential additions at tight end, linebacker, and running back highlight the ongoing effort to find playmakers who can contribute on game day.
