We have a draft rumor that states the Broncos are talking with the Eagles and Steelers about a potential trade back.
According to draft analyst Tony Pauline, the Denver Broncos are having trade talks with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles about a possible draft night deal. He says that both teams are eyeing Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and are speaking with the Broncos about their 12th overall pick.

* @Eagles & @steelers looking to move up for Q. Mitchell
* @Broncos have multiple suitors to move down

* @Buccaneers, @AZCardinals, @49ers interested in Mizzou d-linemanhttps://t.co/dHtTi8mnqZ— Tony Pauline (@TonyPauline) April 23, 2024
The potential deal would include the Eagles’ 22nd overall pick and one of the Eagles’ second-round picks (at least) for the Broncos 12th overall selection. He continues and says the Broncos would then use that 22nd overall pick to select Oregon quarterback Bo Nix in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
However, the Steelers are also talking deal with the Broncos and are also interested in Quinyon Mitchell. So, there could be a bit of a buying war happening here if the Broncos do indeed decide to trade back from 12th overall.
As of Tuesday afternoon, I’m told the Eagles are speaking with the Denver Broncos about trading for the 12th selection so they can draft the Toledo cornerback. The Broncos, in turn, would receive the Eagles’ pick in the first round (22nd selection) which they would use to draft quarterback Bo Nix – a strategy I outlined on Monday. The Eagles have a pair of picks in round two and would part with one of them to move up to the Broncos’ spot. This assumes the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t beat out the Eagles for that pick. I’m told the Steelers and Broncos are talking trade as Pittsburgh is another team that is targeting Mitchell and would move up to draft him.
