The Broncos’ 2027 NFL Draft needs are already taking shape, with Denver’s scouting staff reportedly reviewing the roster’s current construction to identify the biggest gaps after the 2026 season. GM George Paton and college scouts are evaluating potential needs based on free-agent timelines, player ages, and cap costs. The article highlights offensive tackle as a priority, citing left tackle Garett Bolles turning 34 in May and carrying cap hits of more than $27 million in 2027 and $25 million in 2028.
