The Denver Broncos entered the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft without a selection after trading away their first-round pick and moving down in the second round. With the 66th overall pick, the Broncos finally made their first selection of the draft, selecting Tyler Onyedim, a defensive tackle from Texas A&M.

The pick used by Denver originated from the Titans, who traded it to the Bills, who then sent it to the Broncos. This complex trade sequence reflected the Broncos’ aggressive approach to reshaping their roster.

Onyedim brings experience and athleticism to the Broncos’ defensive line. He spent four years at Iowa State before transferring to Texas A&M last season. His college career showcases his ability to contribute immediately as a rookie, providing depth and competition within Denver’s defensive front.
