On the eve of the 2025 NFL draft, three national pundits have predicted the same player landing with the Denver Broncos in separate mock drafts. ESPN's Peter Schrager, Matt Miller and Mina Kimes all have the Broncos using pick No.

WR Luther Burden, Missouri: If Burden falls, don’t rule out Payton making a move up from No. 51 to nab him. He’s got 4.41 speed, is a natural playmaker and would be a neat fit in the Broncos’ receiver room.

According to Albert Breer of SI.com, "If there’s a player who will elicit a trade up into the top 10, I think it will be Jeanty—whether it's the Denver Broncos taking a big swing or the Chicago Bears making a shorter move to leapfrog another team."
