Denver traded down to No. 66 to select Texas A&M defensive lineman Tyler Onyedim in Round 3, a versatile, NFL-ready addition who could contribute immediately and bolster the Broncos’ defensive line; the pick pressures veteran DT Jordan Jackson, who played in 17 games in 2024 but saw limited action in 2025, as Denver also views Eyioma Uwazurike, Sai'vion Jones, and Matt Henningsen as potential replacements for John Franklin-Myers, meaning Jackson must prove himself this summer to keep his spot on the roster.
