The 7-2 Denver Broncos are currently focused on a strong second half to the 2026 NFL season and a deep playoff run, but it's never too early for fans and pundits to begin thinking about future additions.

In his latest two-round 2027 NFL mock draft for Draft Wire, Curt Popejoy has the Broncos using their first two selections to add an offensive tackle and an inside linebacker.

In the first round of Popejoy's mock, Denver selects Kentucky tackle Lance Heard (6-6, 325 pounds), who earned third-team All-SEC recognition last fall. Garett Bolles (34) is still playing at a high level, but the team could save $14.725 million if they move on from Mike McGlinchey (31) in 2027.

In the second round, the Broncos add Clemson linebacker Sammy Brown (6-2, 235 pounds), who received first-team All-ACC honors in 2025. Alex Singleton is a tackling machine, but he'll turn 33 in December, so Denver would be wise to begin planning ahead at the position.
