Even Trade
Denver traded down with Buffalo from the second round into the early third, adding a sixth-round pick while selecting defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim. The Broncos chose volume and board management over staying at No. 62. This kind of trade is hard to grade immediately because its value depends heavily on Onyedim’s development and how the sixth-round pick is ultimately used. The process was reasonable if Denver viewed the talent gap as modest.
Denver Broncos Received
- pick 2026 3rd round pick (66th overall, Tyler Onyedim ) and 2026 6th round pick (182nd overall subsequently traded, Taylen Green )
Buffalo Bills Received
- pick 2026 2nd round pick (62nd overall, Davison Igbinosun )
