5 takeaways from Broncos' pre-draft conference call

2. Broncos focused on six prospects: Paton said there are six players Denver has been focused on as potential targets at pick No. 62. We don't know exactly who those prospects are, but fans and pundits will be making calculated guesses leading up to Round 2. We know that the team has met with more than 100 prospects leading up to the draft.

3. Evan Engram's stock is trending up: There's been plenty of buzz about the Broncos potentially adding a tight end during the draft, perhaps even with their second-round pick. Payton, however, said the team will "continue to find ways" to add to Engram's workload in 2026. It's possible that both things could be true — Denver could target a tight end early in the draft and still increase Engram's workload this fall.

4. Denver's rookies could have limited impacts: Because the Broncos have such a deep roster that was one game away from the Super Bowl last season, Paton said "it's going to be hard" for a rookie to come in and start on Day 1. That's a sign of Denver's impressive depth that will help the team (generally) target the best player available at each pick instead of reaching for big needs.

5. Final year for Broncos' current draft room: Denver's in the process of building a new training facility and headquarters that is set to be completed this summer. "RIP to this draft room," Payton said of the current building. "This is the last one." Next year, the Broncos will draft in their new building, and they believe 2027 will be a deep class.

Following the NFL draft (April 23-25), clubs can hold a rookie minicamp from May 1-4 or May 8-11. Denver has not yet announced its rookie camp schedule, but veterans are scheduled to report for the start of the offseason program on May 4.
