The Denver Broncos are preparing for a Week 5 battle with the Las Vegas Raiders, a key AFC West matchup, but those who follow the college game and the NFL Draft process don't ever take a break. Looking at mock drafts, even to get familiar with potential future Broncos, is always exciting. There are still 13 regular season games left which will all play a part in determining how this season finishes up for the Broncos, and where they will select in the first round of next year's draft.
In his most recent mock for The 33rd Team , Kyle Crabbs has the Broncos in the top 10, slotted in at the No. 9 spot. There are some great wide receivers in the 2025 draft class, and Crabbs has the Broncos taking one.
For those Broncos fans who would love to have Travis Hunter , would you settle for Luther Burden III ? For those saying no, don't be too quick to dismiss the Missouri product. Luther Burden would be a versatile weapon for the Denver Broncos Burden was a five-star recruit coming out of college and has shined in his time at Missouri. He has yet to turn 21 years of age and already looks like he would contribute at a high level in the NFL.
