Each spring, the NFL awards compensatory draft picks to teams who essentially lost more than they gained in free agency in the previous year (the exact formula is more complicated than that). The comp picks are awarded beginning with the end of the third round.
This year, the Denver Broncos are not expected to receive any comp picks. OverTheCap.com estimates that the team’s loss of center Lloyd Cushenberry was canceled out by the signing of wide receiver Josh Reynolds.
Meanwhile, Denver’s loss of inside linebacker Josey Jewell was canceled out by the signing of safety Brandon Jones. Additionally, the Broncos signed linebacker Cody Barton and defensive lineman Malcolm Roach in 2024. So Denver won’t get extra picks in 2025.
The Broncos have not been awarded a comp pick since 2018, when they received one extra pick. Before that, Denver received four comp picks each year from 2015-2017. Overall, they have received 22 comp picks since 1999.
The Broncos hold seven picks to use in the 2025 NFL draft (April 24-26).
