The Denver Broncos have been busy on Day 3 of the NFL draft. From moving up in the fourth round to pick quarterback Bo Nix’s No. 1 target at the University of Oregon to two selections within three picks in the fifth round, the Broncos show they aren’t done yet.
The Denver Broncos have traded a 2026 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for defensive end John Franklin-Myers. Within the past week, the Jets sent quarterback Zach Wilson and Franklin-Myers to the Mile High City in a pair of trades.
Franklin-Myers is a fifth-year veteran from the Jets, who has played in 52 games across four seasons in green. Franklin-Myers has totaled 19.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and 135 total tackles in his professional career.
It remains to be seen if Franklin-Myers will play as a defensive end or outside linebacker in Denver’s 3-4 defense. If he stays at DE, he’ll join a rotation that includes Zach Allen, D.J. Jones and Malcolm Roach.
