We are less than three weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Denver Broncos have added several big names during free agency, such as safety Talanoa Hufanga, linebacker Dre Greenlaw, and tight end Evan Engram. They could still use some more firepower on offense, but can find some among their seven draft selections.
That's exactly what several members of our A to Z Sports staff have the Broncos doing in their latest four-round mock draft. Let's take a look at their picks for Denver and examine them below.
No. 20: WR Luther Burden III, Missouri
"Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was better as a rookie than most people anticipated. Adding talent around him should be a priority. Burden is a dynamic space player who should mesh well with Nix's style." – Ryan Roberts
Burden has quite frequently been linked to the Broncos at No. 20. For good reason, as he is one of the most talented WRs in this year's class. Burden possesses good 4.4 40-yard dash speed, and is elite after the catch, forcing 30 missed tackles in 2024.
His versatility allows him to be used all over the offensive formation, including out on the boundary, in the slot, or in the backfield. Pairing Burden opposite Courtland Sutton and with Engram roaming in the middle would really round out Denver's passing attack.
No. 51: RB TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State
"Giving Sean Payton both Burden and TreVeyon Henderson will mean this fall will be a lot more fun in Denver. Explosive, tough, and well-rounded, Henderson could be the top-producing back in this class by the time everyone's career is wrapped up." – Ian Valentino
The RB position is arguably the Broncos' biggest remaining need, and Henderson would be a great value at No. 51. He is a complete, three-down player who runs with good speed and shiftiness.
Henderson is also a good receiver and pass protector. He is a tad undersized, but plays with a lot of grit. Henderson would instantly be the best RB on Denver's roster and should solidify the position for the foreseeable future.
No. 85: S Andrew Mukuba, Texas
"I wish Andrew Mukuba had a bigger frame, but he's a playmaker who will make an impact regardless of role. His 2024 season was insanely good, and Denver's already great secondary can unleash him in a variety of alignments without concern of Mukuba struggling too much." – Ian Valentino
Yes, the Broncos just signed Hufanga, but Mukuba is a versatile defensive back that could be also be used as a nickel back. Mukuba had a decorated career with Clemson and Texas, starting 43 games in four years.
Denver could move on from Brandon Jones after the 2025 season, potentially paving the way for Mukuba to slide into a stating role. As Ian mentioned, Mukuba is a bit undersized, but is an intelligent, high-motor player.
No. 122: DT CJ West, Indiana
"West is one of the best kept secrets in this draft class. He is a squatty interior defender who is extremely hard to move at the point of attack, and possesses unique explosiveness." – Ryan Roberts
At a stout 316 pounds, West ranked third among all DTs at the NFL Scouting Combine in the athleticism test. That could give him the versatility to play at both nose tackle and defensive end in defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's scheme.
West would be a rotational player on defense and a contributor on special teams as a rookie, but could challenge for a starting role down the line. He lacks a bit in length, but his compact frame and athleticism could make up for it.
Denver Broncos set to host a fast-rising 2025 NFL Draft prospect that would fill their biggest remaining position of need
He would be a tremendous fit for Denver.
