The Denver Broncos have retained their draft picks for the 2027 NFL draft following a failed trade involving linebacker Daiyan Henley. The Broncos initially agreed to send a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers but backed out after concerns about Henley's knee emerged during his physical. As a result, they keep their original selections plus a seventh-round pick from the New Orleans Saints. Additionally, they are projected to receive a fourth-round compensatory pick for losing John Franklin-Myers in free agency and possibly a seventh-round comp pick for P.J. Locke. The draft is scheduled from April 29 to May 1, 2027, in Washington, D.C.
