Where do the Denver Broncos pick in the 2023 NFL Draft?

Last year, in March 2022, the Denver Broncos traded with the Seattle Seahawks to get franchise QB Russell Wilson. The trade package for Wilson, included two of the Broncos' 2023 Draft Picks, their first and second-round picks to be specific. After a 5-12 2022-23 season, these two picks became the Number 5 overall pick, and Number 37 overall pick respectively. At the regular season's Trade Deadline, the Broncos sent Edge Rusher Bradley Chubb to the Miami Dolphins and got their 2023 first-round pick (29th Overall), but after the season finished, Denver sent that pick they got from the Chubb trade to the New Orleans Saints to get Super Bowl Champion Head Coach Sean Payton.

With that being said, the Denver Broncos do not have a pick until the third round, unless they move up and/or down by doing trades. Their first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, is the number 67 Overall Pick (if trades do not happen).
