Broncos' 2026 draft class ranked third-worst in early season review
Summary

The Denver Broncos' 2026 draft class has been ranked as the third-worst in the NFL after struggling to make an impact early in the season. Analyst Justin Melo cited that the Broncos did not select until the 66th pick, resulting in underwhelming contributions from their picks. Tyler Onyedim has been inactive, and Jonah Coleman remains on injured reserve. Despite these struggles, the Broncos hold a 4-2 record, reflecting head coach Sean Payton's leadership. Looking ahead, there's hope that the draft class may improve as the season progresses.
