NFL draft tracker: Picks, instant reaction and more live coverage
10:16 a.m.: Considered a second-round pick ahead of the draft, Franklin was one of the most productive wideouts in college football in 2023. The former four-star recruit recorded 81 catches for 1,383 yards and 14 touchdowns as Broncos first-round pick Bo Nix’s favorite target. “I think all elements of my game are pretty sharp,” Franklin said after getting drafted. “I feel like I can do everything.”
10:10 a.m. The Broncos struck fast on Day 3, trading up to the second selection of the day to take Oregon WR Troy Franklin, Bo Nix’s top target in college. Denver gave up Nos. 121, 136 and 207 for Nos. 102 and 235.
10 a.m.: We are back in business, baby. Round 4 starts now, with 100 picks down and 157 to go. Who’s going to be the next Tariq Woolen? The next Brock Purdy? Denver will get six cracks at it, with the brain trust strongly hinting they might use some of that draft capital to move up if they see someone they really like. Denver has No. 121 in the fourth round and then three of the first 12 picks in the fifth round (Nos. 136, 145 and 147). Things should get interesting.
